This tagine was a disaster! The chicken was dry and the sauce was watery. I would not recommend this recipe.

I found this tagine to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more spices.

I'm not a huge fan of tagines, but this one was actually pretty good. The chicken was tender and the sauce was flavorful.

This tagine is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like that it's a one-pot meal, which makes cleanup a breeze.
