One Pan Moroccan Chicken and Veggies – Paleo, Whole 30, 30 Minutes
As a working mom, one pan meals are life savers for me. This Moroccan chicken and veggies is quick, easy and delicious! It is packed with flavor but only calls for a handful of ingredients. This is a great option for busy school nights and makes wonderful leftovers for lunches.
The key to making this dish both flavorful and easy is the harissa sauce. I use the brand Mina for this recipe because it is Whole30 compliant. I make sure to use the mild flavor because of my kids. My husband and I just add pepper flakes or chili sauce on top if we want it spicier. You can use other brands of harissa sauce, just check the labels if you are doing a round of Whole30. I order Mina online or it is in the condiment section of most grocery stores.
I used chicken thighs for this recipe. They add extra flavor and stay nice and tender. I cube the thighs with my sharp kitchen shears to make my life easier. This also helps the chicken cook faster.
With the carrots and potatoes, this is a nice hearty stew-like meal. The lemon and the mint brighten it up and add another layer of flavor. I snuck the kale in for a little extra nutrients and it was delicious. The heartiness of the kale holds up well in this dish.

Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cover the pan for 5 minutes to help cook the potaotes and carrots (add more broth if needed)
