1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/ 160°C (fan)/ 350°F/ Gas 4
Place the flaked almonds on a baking tray
Put the tray in the oven for 4-5 min or until the almonds are lightly browned, then remove from the oven and leave to cool
You're done with the oven now, so you can turn it off!

Peel and finely slice the brown onion[s]
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Cut the courgette[s]into small bite-sized pieces
Cut the redchilli[es] in half lengthways, deseed (scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon) and chop finely
Boil a kettle

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid), with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the ras el hanout and cook for 1 min or until fragrant
Add the sliced onion, chopped chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), chopped garlic and a pinch of salt and cook for 5-6 min or until the onion has caramelised

Add 2 [4]lemon quarters to the pan
6
Reduce the heat to low and cook, covered for 15 min or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)
