Moroccan Inspired Chicken and Vegetables
A delicious new way to cook a "roast" chicken! If you haven't steamed a whole chicken in your machine, you should really try. Be prepared for the most tender and moist chicken you will ever cook. Teamed up with vegetables, it is the perfect dinner for cooler nights.
