Quick & Easy Dinner Idea | Casablanca Chicken | Meals For Working Moms
Hello Friends! Today's quick and easy meal idea for my working moms is Casablanca Chicken. If you're asking yourself what's for dinner, then look no further. You might as well just add this one to your meal plan next week and add the ingredients to your ClickList shopping cart. Yes, it is that good and so full of flavor. I got my inspiration from so if you want to try it exactly as she made it, then take a look at her ingredients. Also, with my family of picky eaters, they ate it with the only complaint being to serve with anything other than quinoa. Ya'll I try but no one wants to be on the same page with me ever.
Ingredients
1/2 red pepper diced
1 small onion sliced
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
3 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp cumin
salt to taste
2 tsp no salt seasoning
1 cup of chicken broth
2-3 splashes of coconut oil
4 tbsp of olive oil (or clarified butter)
2 large chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces
4 med boneless skinless chicken thighs (fat trimmed & cut into pieces)
****I know it seems like a lot of ingredients, but it's not that bad. Just have everything pre-measured and prepped before you start cooking.
Instructions
1. Season your chicken with salt to your liking. Just as a gauge, I used about 2 tbsp but honestly do this to your liking, that's why it's done separate from the other seasonings.
2. Add all your other spices (black pepper, turmeric, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, no salt seasoning) and mix them in well. You can use tongues or go in with your hands to make sure the spices are fully incorporated.
3. Heat 3 tbsp of EVOO in a skillet over medium high heat.
4. Add your pieces of chicken to the skillet, making sure to not over crowd the pan. Continue to batch cook your chicken until all the chicken is golden brown on both sides and set it all to the side.
5. In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp of EVOO & cook your onions, bell peppers & minced garlic for about 2 minutes.
6. Add the chicken broth and de-glaze the bottom of the pan, making sure to get up all those bits of chicken an seasoning.
7. Add the chicken back to the skillet, along with a couple of splashes of coconut aminos. Finish it with 2 tbsp of cilantro, giving it a quick stir before putting a lid on it.
8. Let it cook for 15 minutes just so the spices marry together with the broth and then serve it with your favorite sides.

About Me
Hello friends! Thank you for showing me love and stopping by my channel! My name is RaShae Lyle but everyone knows me as Shae. I'm a Christian, wife, mother, and cook. My love for cooking was sparked as a child watching my grandmother and mother cook southern classics. I spent many hours watching and asking basic questions before I started cooking full on meals at the young age of 11. Since then, it has become my passion to cook and bake for others and eventually my own family. I truly believe in the power of a good cooked meal and the many memories and conversations that can occur around the dining table. On this channel, my goal is to provide easy and delicious dinner ideas that will help other working moms feed their families with ease. Also, my dream is to help others learn the necessary cooking skills, that for some reason aren't being passed down to upcoming generations. I would love for each of you to become part of my community and subscribe to the channel.
