5: Moroccan-Style Chicken Thigh Bowl Bites
“Jay-Z” Ziobrowski | Corporate R&D Chef | Morrison Healthcare
The salty-sweet flavor cues of Moroccan cuisine shine in this dish, which features tender chicken thighs, apricots, honey, stuffed queen olives and garbanzo beans. The dish starts as sweet on the palate. “You get that right away, but it’s a savory sweet, not a dessert sweet,” Ziobrowski says. “The honey is the star, masking the olive flavor, but the saltiness of the olives comes in right after that.” Blistered grape tomatoes, parsley, mint and almonds are the final touch in a thoughtful curation of ingredients that takes flavor, color and texture all into consideration.
