Remember a while back, when I said I was experimenting with new spices? Tonight’s exotic adventure includes the North African spice “Ras El Hanout” and it was really fragrant and delicious. Next time, I think I’m going to cut the chicken up, add some peppers, and serve this over rice. I ordered my Ras El Hanout on ebay but you can make your own if you want. Here’s a recipe on Epicurious!
Ingredients:
- 4 (6 oz) chicken breasts (i used Tyson right-size. they’re perfect!)
- 1 TBSP olive oil
- 1 TBSP Ras El Hanout
- 1 TBPS light butter or margarine
- 1 large onion, sliced
- Salt
- 2 TSP honey
Directions:
1. In an oven-proof skillet, heat olive oil on medium. Add 1 TBSP ras el hanout, Mix and cook for 2-3 minutes, just to toast the spices.
2. Add chicken breasts, and coat each breast with the spice mixture. Allow breasts to cook about 4-5 minutes. Remove chicken, and set aside.
3. Add butter to skillet, and melt butter, swirling it around to incorporate remaining spices.
4. Add onions to butter mixture, and sauté about 4 minutes. Place chicken breasts on top of onions in pan. Sprinkle the whole dish with salt. Drizzle honey over the top of the mixture.
5. Place skillet containing onions and chicken into a preheated oven. Bake on 400 for 10-12 minutes. Serve chicken and onions together.
