This tagine is so easy to make and it's always delicious. I love that I can throw it in the slow cooker and forget about it until dinnertime.

This tagine is a bit spicy for my taste. Next time, I will use less cayenne pepper.

I'm not a big fan of olives, so I omitted them from the recipe. The tagine was still delicious!

This tagine is a great make-ahead meal. I often make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week for dinner.

I made this tagine for a dinner party and it was a big hit! Everyone loved the tender chicken and flavorful sauce. I served it with couscous and a side of roasted vegetables.

The chicken tagine was a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavors were great. I think I would reduce the amount of olive oil next time. Otherwise, it was a delicious and easy meal.

This tagine was easy to make and packed with flavor. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and they cooked perfectly in the sauce. The olives and lemon added a nice touch of acidity and brightness. I would definitely make this again.

This chicken tagine was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and tangy. The olives added a nice briny flavor, and the lemon brightened up the dish. I will definitely be making this again.
