Moroccan Chicken Olive Stew is a popular and delicious dish served on special occasions in Morocco, it requires a little time to prepare and is flavorful despite the few spices used. This recipe is ideal for those who do not have the time yet want to cook amazing dinner for their family.
Why Did I Disappear?
Before talking about the recipe, I must share few things with you, a little personal but I guess you (my readers) should know what was going on and why I didn’t post for a while. First, let me say that all is well at my end and I spent past days enjoying success and pleasant surprises from my family and friends.
The best thing about being your own boss is taking time off whenever you want and I had to spend some time away from my blog and enjoy all the blessings God showered me with.
I love my stove top pressure cooker, but the microwave version made me fall in love again. I never cooked in the microwave before, the idea is all new to me since I mainly use my stove and oven to cook and the microwave is left for heating food.
Oh, and don't forget to try my Moroccan Couscous with Lamb Shanks, and Moroccan meatballs with tomato sauce.
Let’s Make Moroccan Chicken Olive Stew!
📖 Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 chicken quarters with skin
- 1 large onion. Half of it minced and the other half sliced thinly
- 1 ½ teaspoon ghee
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup pitted olives black or green
Instructions
- In a bowl mix all the ingredients well except the thinly sliced onion, olives, and water.
- Add the sliced onion to the pressure cooker and place the chicken on top.
- Add the water and cover the pressure cooker.
- Place the pressure cooker in the microwave and cook for 23 minutes.
- Allow the pressure cooker to release all the pressure naturally.
- Open the pressure cooker and add the olives. Serve hot.

I might as well give this recipe a try. Although I'm not really a fan of olives, but hey, the chicken looks appetizing.

You don't have to use olives, this dish will still taste amazing without it.

Looks absolutely delicious. I'd swap chicken with lamb though as I'm not a big fan of chicken. The sauce looks super yummy!
munatycooking
Lamb will taste great too, I guess you have to cook it longer though!
Denice
So glad to hear about your son's achievement. I'm sure you are very proud. Hope everything is well with the family emergency that occurred. Will share this recipe to my husband, looks very interesting.

sure a delicious meal to try out, moroccan chicken should have this kinda spicy and soft feel from most of their nicely made meals i have tasted down here in my country. yummy delight for me.

This meal looks wonderful! I love my microwave, but almost never actually prepare a meal in it--just reheat or melt butter, that kind of thing. This looks like great for even cooking.

Awesome recipe..looks so healthy and flavorful.
For the last year I've really begun to cook with more Turkish, morracan spices for the healthy benefits.
And, I'm a huge fan of Kuhn R. Products..and, almost purchased this on QVC a few months ago.
