Hi. Dying to make this. Can’t get those type of canned tomatoes. What could I use instead?
Also, what is the ‘cream’ you used on top when serving?
Thank you
Hi Aileen! You could try regular canned diced tomatoes instead of fire-roasted and maybe add a little cumin for smoky flavor.
What would make a good side dish with this Morrocan Chicken? Are those torn mint leaves on top?
Thank you.

Hi Robin! I’d go for a simple sautéed zucchini or spinach on the side with a little olive oil and garlic. I garnished with some chopped cilantro, but mint would be good too!
