Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ¾ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch pieces
2 large onions, thinly sliced
½ cup coarsely chopped dried apricots
⅓ cup raisins
1 ¼ cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon curry powder
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup couscous
1 cup boiling water

  • Place the chicken, onions, apricots, and raisins into a slow cooker. In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, tomato paste, lemon juice, flour, ginger, cumin, cinnamon, black pepper, curry powder, and cayenne. Pour the mixture over the chicken in the cooker. Cover, set the cooker to High, and cook 2 1/2 hours; or set the cooker to Low and cook for 5 hours.

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

This tagine was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.
