I have a bit of an obsession with skillet meals. It’s no secret that my Tuscan Chicken Skillet recipe is the most popular post on TWK, and for good reason, too. Who doesn’t love one-pan meals that are done in less than an hour? You’ll also love this Sausage and Pepper One-Pan Pasta Skillet and my Saucy Mexican Chicken Skillet for busy weeknights and picky eaters! I figured that you are probably in need of another skillet recipe to add to your repertoire, so I came up with this new Moroccan Chicken Skillet recipe! One of my favorite Moroccan dishes is a tagine made with chicken and apricots. I always order a version of this dish when I visit my favorite Moroccan restaurant. Unfortunately, it’s a little difficult for me to make at home. I don’t usually have the time (or equipment) to make a tagine (seriously, you need like a whole clay pot thing… does anyone actually have one of these?), but we can all make this easy skillet version of one of my favorite dishes. You’ll love the satisfying combination of savory chicken thighs, sweet apricots, and toothy chickpeas. This dinner really hits the spot! Couscous makes a wonderful accompaniment to this dish; it soaks up the sauce and adds a really fun texture to the meal. Believe it or not, I ate these leftovers for lunch three days in a row! I ran out of couscous on the last day, so I can tell you with confidence that the chicken skillet itself is enough for a hearty meal. The chickpeas really fill you up! I’m starting to really love this whole 30-Minute Monday series. It certainly doesn’t hurt for me to have more 30 minute recipes to make throughout the week, and I hope that you find them as practical and delicious as I do! What do you think about the idea of continuing this series past the original 12-week end date? Let me know in the comments!
