Grilled Moroccan Chicken

Posted by Spoon #2

Ooh. Moroccan Chicken. Who doesn't love spicy chicken? The sharp flavor, served with with couscous is one of my favorites and is so tasty.  It is a simple and fast marinade that puts a zing in your mouth.  This is a meal we eat often, because it is super fast and easy, and makes everyone happy.

First you will need to gather up a few ingredients from your kitchen.  Give the cilantro and green a onions a good chopping, and then throw them along with everything else into your food processor.

Aren't those colors just beautiful? 

Spread it all over chicken (don't be shy!) and let it sit at least a half an hour for all the yumminess to penetrate into the meat.

Throw it on a hot grill and blast those babies with some heat!  Mmmm.  So simple, yet so delicious!
