Chicken Tagine
*(Serves 4-6)*

Ingredients


- 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) chicken thighs or drumsticks (bone-in, skin-on for extra flavor)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2-3 tsp Moroccan Tagine Seasoning (adjust to taste)
- 1 preserved lemon (or zest of 1 fresh lemon)
- 1 cup green olives (pits removed)
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 cup dried apricots or prunes (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
- Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions


1. Prepare the Chicken:
   - Season the chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper.
   - In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides until golden (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.

2. Cook the Aromatics:
   - In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent (about 5 minutes).
   - Add the minced garlic and 2-3 tsp of the Moroccan Tagine Seasoning. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3. Add Liquids and Simmer:
   - Pour in the chicken stock and stir to combine.
   - Return the chicken to the pot, nestling the pieces into the sauce.
   - Add the preserved lemon (cut into quarters) and green olives. If using dried apricots or prunes, add them now.
   - Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

4. Finish and Serve:
   - If you’d like a touch of sweetness, drizzle honey over the dish and stir gently.
   - Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
   - Serve hot with couscous, rice, or warm crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.

Enjoy!
