CHICKEN TAGINE WITH PRESERVED LEMON AND POTATOES

Chicken Tagine With Preserved Lemon and Potatoes image

A tagine is the Moroccan equivalent of a stew, usually fragrant with spices and often piquant with preserved lemon. The name also refers to the earthenware dish with a conical-shaped lid that the dish is usually cooked in but you can cook this in a pan on the stove top also, you will have more evaporation than with a tagine, so add the other 1/2 cup of water if you need it

This tagine is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add other vegetables, such as carrots or zucchini.

This tagine was easy to make and turned out great! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the potatoes were perfectly cooked. I will definitely be making this again.
