I love morocco and have been many times. This mega simple and mega quick version of their Lemon chicken is so fast and MEGA cheap. You know me..... I love delicious food that costs little to make for all the family. Its a little like my Spaghetti Sauce - just add what you have in the fridge or cupboard and as many veg as you like or need to use up. ENJOY :P
