Moroccan Chicken with Orange

(serves 4)

1 red chilli, seeds removed, finely chopped
1 tsp dried chilli flakes
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 lemon, juiced
2 tsp ground cinnamon
3 tsp ground cumin
4 tbs sultanas
4 tbs pine nuts
40ml (2 tbs) olive oil
800g chicken fillets, cut into thin strips
1 orange, halved, sliced
4 tbs freshly chopped mint

Place chilli, chilli flakes, garlic, lemon juice, cinnamon, cumin, sultanas, pine nuts, half the olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Mix well. Add chicken and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Heat the remaining olive oil in a large frypan. Add the chicken pieces and cook on one side for 1-2 minutes or until golden.

Turn over, add the orange slices and cook for 2-3 minutes until cooked through. Stir through the mint.

Serve with couscous and some low-fat yoghurt.

I haven't tried this recipe yet - found it on taste this morning and am keen to try it. Let me know if you get in first and tell me what it's like! Looks delicious. Some people have suggested adding some natural yoghurt to the marinade - I might try that...
