    A keto chicken dish full of flavour and inspired by Moroccan spices. Artichokes and olives are added to this smooth spicy dish.

    I was fortunate enough to travel to Morocco for work when I lived in the Middle East.   The food, the people andthe wonderful hospitality was just amazing.   I loved exploring the souks with the array of spices and this dish conjured up some fond memories for me.   

    When the Chief Taster had finished this dish he confessed that he was not ashamed to admit that he had licked the plate to enjoy the last drops of this sauce.   High praise indeed, although it's not behaviour I encourage!  The aroma of the spices cooking in this dish are just lovely and warmed the kitchen with their intoxicating smell.

    This was very easy to make and is made in one pot,  but it could be made in advance just to heat up for supper later.   I suspect it's one of those dishes where the tastes improves after a few hours.  However, I am yet to find that out as this will not last long with the plate licker about!

      This sounds yum and will be our dinner on Monday.

      Do u drain the liquid from the artichokes or add that to pot with the chicken and olives?
