Moroccan Chicken and Peppers is a nice slightly hot and slightly sweet sauce with chicken and bell peppers. The combination of mildly spicy sauce combined with the chicken and bell peppers is soon to become a family favorite. The delectable tasty chicken will have you dreaming of your next bite. Additionally, it is a delightful Mediterranean classic dinner stew-like dish. The sauce is made with Harissa which comes in mild or hot. In other words, the mild is slightly sweet and slightly spicy.Moroccan Chicken and Peppers on a white plate with another plate in the background

In all honesty, I have always wanted to go to Morocco ever since I was a kid and watch Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca. What a wonderful black-and-white movie with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. Not to mention, it is such a wonderful change from plain old chicken. Harissa is hard to describe but adds so much flavor to the sauce and this dish. The spice flavor is so unique and yummy tasting in this dish. Indeed, It will make you feel like traveling the world so that you can try every country’s cultural foods.

Moroccan Chicken and Peppers:

Believe it or not, I am a wimp when it comes to heat. I highly suggest that you purchase Mild Harissa. . However, for a spicier dish get hot Harissa. It is a wonderful chili sauce that is unlike any I have ever had before.

First Make Keto Moroccan Red Chili Sauce

This dish will go a lot faster if you have made the sauce ahead of time. In fact, this dish can be eaten two different ways, first, it is to cut the chicken breast thin and make it like cutlets. The second, way is to chop up the chicken. Chopping the chicken makes it more stew-like. Either way, you do it is delicious. Moroccan chili sauce can be made up to a month in advance. Once made the chili sauce will last in the fridge for 2 months.

      I love harissa. I’ve had it in Morocco and Tunisia where they eat it with eggs! This Moroccan chicken with peppers sounds really good. Definitely want to try it!
