To make Moroccan Chicken Bowl, you will need the following ingredients:
In a small mixing bowl, whisk 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar, a pinch of salt, a pinch of sugar together until combined then add a small, thinly sliced red onion. Set aside for about 20 minutes, tossing a few times, to marinate, or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
In another bowl, whisk 1 tablespoon of cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons of honey, ¼ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of pepper together, until combined then add ½ head of cored and shredded red cabbage. Set aside for about 10 minutes, tossing a few times, to marinate, or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika, ½ teaspoon of ground cumin, ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of pepper, and pinch of red pepper flakes then rub into 4 chicken breasts.
In a large skillet on medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add the seasoned chicken breasts. Sear for about 2-3 minutes per side then transfer to the oven.
Cook in the preheated oven at 425 °F for about 9-11 minutes until cooked through and roasted.
In 4 serving bowls, divide some arugula, the cooked and sliced breasts, tomato salad, sweet and tangy slaw and pickled onions, in each.
Serve as is, and enjoy!
