Moroccan chicken - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use chicken thighs or drumsticks for a juicier texture, but adjust cooking time to ensure they cook through.
You can substitute pine nuts with slivered almonds, walnuts, or cashews for a similar crunch and nutty flavor.
Replace chicken with chickpeas or tofu and use vegetable broth for the couscous. Adjust spices to taste.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the chicken.
Yes, freeze the chicken and sauce separately for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge and reheat gently before serving.
Try serving with quinoa, rice, or warm flatbread for a different texture. A side salad or roasted vegetables also pairs well.
Omit the hot pepper or use a mild bell pepper instead. Adjust the amount of spices to your preference.
Fresh lemon zest is best for flavor, but bottled zest can work in a pinch—use half the amount to avoid bitterness.
