Moroccan baked chicken

This Moroccan baked chicken recipe is a really simple and flavorful way to cook chicken breasts. Just by rubbing a mixture of olive oil, garlic and Moroccan spices on chicken and letting it marinate for 20 minutes guarantees the chicken is deliciously seasoned, not bland, and delightfully succulent, not dry. Another trick to getting juicy baked chicken is to bake it at a high temperature for a short time  —  just 20 minutes at 450ºF/230ºC results in perfectly cooked, tender chicken breast.

Moroccan baked chicken is particularly good served on top of our Moroccan couscous and chickpea salad, but plain couscous is fine, although better with fresh herbs tossed through. Or you could serve the chicken with a simple side salad (tomato, cucumber and red onion with fresh mint or parsley is tasty) or with cooked vegetables like potatoes, carrots and zucchini on the side.
