Categories     Chicken

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 chicken thighs with bone and skin (or one cut up chicken)
Salt and black pepper
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon smoked paprika, the hotter the better
1 teaspoon ground cumin
18 pitted prunes (or dried mixed berries)
36 pitted picholine or other green olives
1 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 lemon, zest removed in thin strips
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint leaves ( or parsley)

Steps:

  • 1. Dry chicken and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large, heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, to very hot. Add chicken (in batches if necessary) skin side down, and sear until skin is golden brown. Remove chicken when browned (do not turn it) and set aside. 2.Discard all but a thin film of fat from the pan. Add onion and garlic and sauté on low until soft. Stir in paprika and cumin, cook about a minute and then add prunes, olives, stock and butter. Cook, stirring, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer contents of pan to a 12- to 14-inch tagine, sauté pan or casserole. Place chicken on top, skin side up. 3.Cover and cook on medium-low heat about 40 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Serve immediately or set aside to be reheated. To serve, scatter lemon zest and mint over the chicken, squeeze juice of the lemon on top and bring tagine to the table covered.

This is my go-to recipe for chicken tagine. It's always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is always moist and tender, and the sauce is flavorful and complex. I love serving it with couscous and a side of roasted vegetables.

Not a fan of this recipe. The chicken was tough and the sauce was too watery. I think I'll stick to my usual chicken tagine recipe.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it needed more spices. The chicken was also a bit dry. I won't be making this again.

This tagine was a bit too sweet for my taste, but everyone else in my family loved it. The chicken was tender and the sauce was flavorful. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
