This tagine is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great dish to make for a crowd. I usually double the recipe and it always disappears quickly.

This tagine is a great weeknight meal. It's easy to make and the chicken always turns out tender and juicy. The sauce is also flavorful and delicious. I usually serve it over rice or quinoa, but it would also be good with couscous or pita bread.

This tagine was a disappointment. The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this recipe again.

The tagine was good, but not great. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the chicken had been cooked in a different way, such as roasting or grilling.

This tagine was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred it if the apricots were omitted or used in a smaller quantity. Otherwise, the recipe was easy to follow and the chicken was cooked perfectly.
