Today’s Recipe: Spicy Moroccan Chicken Tagine

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share my recipe for a Spicy Moroccan Chicken Tagine. This dish is perfect for when you’re craving something warm, comforting, and full of exotic flavors. The combination of spices, fruits, and tender chicken will transport you straight to the streets of Marrakech.

To make this Spicy Moroccan Chicken Tagine, you will need the following ingredients:

• 6 chicken thighs (bone-in)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp coriander
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup dried apricots
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
• Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

For this recipe, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• Dutch oven
• knife
• cutting board
• wooden spoon

Start by preheating your Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil and sauté the onion until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot, searing on all sides until golden brown.

Sprinkle the cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper over the chicken, stirring to coat evenly. Pour in the chicken broth and add the dried apricots. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and let it cook for about 30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Once the chicken is ready, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the Spicy Moroccan Chicken Tagine hot, garnished with toasted sliced almonds and fresh cilantro.

This Spicy Moroccan Chicken Tagine serves 4 people, with each serving weighing approximately 300 grams. One serving of this dish is estimated to be around 400 calories.

A unique tip to make this dish even more flavorful is to add a pinch of saffron threads to the broth while simmering. Saffron will impart a beautiful golden color and a subtle floral taste to the dish.
