Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

- Pour the chicken broth into the skillet with the chicken, allowing it to come to a gentle simmer. Let the flavors meld for about 3-4 minutes.

- Continue to cook everything together for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Tips
- For an extra depth of flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the Moroccan spice blend and some olive oil for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Feel free to add vegetables such as bell peppers or spinach for added nutrition and color.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of Moroccan-style roasted vegetables or a simple green salad.
