Moroccan Chicken Stew Recipe<\/span><\/h1>\n

\"MoroccanThis chicken stew has an exotic, complex flavor profile and tastes very rich. Yet this gluten-free recipe is chock full of fruits and vegetables and is super healthy. Serve as-is or over rice, chick peas or quinoa; It freezes well and will stay in the fridge for lunch leftovers for up to 4-5 days.<\/p>\n

To make a paleo or Whole30 version just substitute arrowroot powder or a combination of almond flour and tapioca starch for the gluten-free flour blend or omit entirely. You can also try this recipe with juicy chunks of lamb. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
