Tip

You can steam rice in the steamer basket whilst you are cooking the chicken if desired which is what I did and you can see what a lovely color (therefore flavor) the rice has been infused with!

Chermoula will keep in a sealable jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

    This is a tasty recipe! Ran out of cumin so only used 30g. Got to step 6 and then put the chicken on the BBQ - everyone raved about it. Would definitely make again.

    Lovely flavours.  The marinade made more than enough for double the amount of chicken.  So the next night I steamed the additional 8 fillets, shredded them and made it into a pasta sauce with some extra sauted onion and garlic.  Add some cream, cook up some pasta, delicious.  Two meals in one and a great hit!

    I have made the Chermoula and have my chicken marinating for tonight's dinner. The sauce tastes delicious. Can't wait to taste the cooked chicken. Thanks for the recipe.
