Moroccan Chicken Tagine
Aromatic Moroccan Chicken Tagine with Apricots and Spices
Ingredients:
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup canned diced tomatoes
1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/4 cup green olives, pitted and sliced
1 tablespoon honey
Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
Toasted slivered almonds (optional)
Directions:
Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or traditional tagine over medium heat.
Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Brown them skin-side down for 5-7 minutes until golden, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
In the same pot, add the sliced onions and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Stir in ginger, cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, and paprika. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add chicken broth, diced tomatoes, chopped apricots, olives, and honey. Stir to combine.
Return the chicken thighs to the pot, skin-side up, and spoon some sauce over them.
Cover and simmer on low heat for 30-40 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley and toasted almonds if desired. Serve hot with couscous or crusty bread.
