Million Dollar Chicken Moroccan Style

this recipe originally won first prize ($1 million) in a national cook-off of some sort (i think pillsbury) several years ago. i can see why - it is a wonderful combination of flavours. the recipe is quite easy to make and is very economical. i have also substituted the chicken thighs for boneless, skinless breasts and it works just fine. the thighs are definitely better though as they are more moist. do try this - you'll love it.
