Instant Pot Moroccan Chicken Served With Passion Fruit Black Iced Tea

Just because it’s a weeknight doesn’t mean that we can’t travel to exotic places with our palate.

Invite your kids to sit down at the dinner table and encourage them to leave those pesky electronics behind because this meal will blow their socks off!

This delicious & quick Instant Pot Moroccan Chicken is made with dried fruit and nuts and served with a refreshing glass of Passion Fruit Black Iced Tea.

It’s sweet, savory, juicy, and a play of unexpected flavors. I paired off my Moroccan chicken with a tangy pitcher of passion fruit black iced tea.

Believe it or not, the flavors complement each other pretty well even though the ingredients come from different places.

I am taking dinner time to a whole new level to encourage and invite conversation. My girls sometimes become zombies with their tablets and when they sit down at the table, their heads are elsewhere.

This is my way to wake them and use their senses. I want them to ask questions, feel the different textures in their mouth, and drink something refreshing. 

This Instant Pot Moroccan Chicken is cooked with cinnamon, prunes, golden raisins, and dried apricots. I finish off the dish with toasted pine nuts and sliced almonds for a little crunch.

Served along my passion fruit black iced tea made with Lipton Organic Black Tea.

Usually Moroccan chicken roasts for a long time in an oven. Obviously, during the week I don’t have the luxury of spending hours at home checking cooking. Now with the pressure cooker, it is ready in about 45 minutes or less.

While that’s cooking, I make my refreshing iced tea. It’s hot here in Miami.

All the ingredients in this drink and dish are available at your local Publix.
