Moroccan Style Chicken in a Jar

i am making my cousin a full days worth of meal mixes for christmas this year. this is a giaj version of my recipe 224920, which will be for the dinner portion. this makes about 1/3 cup of mix, which serves 8. since it is just the two of them, i am going to package this in a recycled spice container, but you could also use a larger jar and add some dried apricots, so that all the gift receiver would need to add is chicken, oil, and water. cook/prep time is for actually cooking the chicken.
