Directions

Step 1
Combine lemon juice, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons ras el hanout, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a resealable plastic bag. Place chicken thighs into the bag, making sure marinade gets under skin. Seal and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Remove chicken from refrigerator 20 minutes before baking and let come to room temperature.

Step 2
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 3
Combine sweet potato, zucchini, chickpeas and artichoke hearts in a bowl. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon ras el hanout and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and stir to combine evenly.
Step 4
Remove chicken from marinade and place on a 13x18-inch rimmed sheet pan. Place vegetable mixture around chicken.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven, flipping vegetables halfway through, or until chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 30 minutes.
Step 6
Remove from oven and garnish with pomegranate seeds, parsley, and pistachios before serving.

Cook's Notes:

To make cleanup easier, line the sheet pan with aluminum foil.

Place pistachios into a small resealable storage bag and crush with a rolling pin or meat tenderizer.

The sweet potato used for this recipe weighed about 14 ounces.

This was so easy. Very flavorful. Did not make any changes. Will definitely do again. Maybe with boneless thighs next time.

I thought this looked really interesting, so I made it tonight for my husband and I-we loved it! I made my own spice mix, as suggested and also added chopped dates, which we both thought added a wonderful sweetness to the dish, while remaining authentic to Moroccan dishes. It has a wonderful flavor, not in your face or spicy, just very delicious. I also used butternut squash instead of sweet potatoes-I am a fan of both, so I think either, or both work just fine. I may add chicken sausages next time, as I will make it again. Also, I used boneless thighs, as I like to remove all the fat and it was just right! Try it-you’ll like it!

So good. I forgot to get the pistachios and pomegranate seeds but still yum!!!! My husband said it was a keeper which literally never happens. Very easy. I bought the spice on Amazon.

Easy and excellent! Added chicken and apple sausage as well. Made couscous and served in a bowl mixed together.

My picky child and foodie husband both love this dish!!! We have it several times a month, and it never gets old. Serve with couscous or flatbread for a full meal.
