Categories     Chicken

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 chicken thighs with bone and skin (or one cut up chicken)
Salt and black pepper
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon smoked paprika, the hotter the better
1 teaspoon ground cumin
18 pitted prunes (or dried mixed berries)
36 pitted picholine or other green olives
1 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 lemon, zest removed in thin strips
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint leaves ( or parsley)

Steps:

  • 1. Dry chicken and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large, heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, to very hot. Add chicken (in batches if necessary) skin side down, and sear until skin is golden brown. Remove chicken when browned (do not turn it) and set aside. 2.Discard all but a thin film of fat from the pan. Add onion and garlic and sauté on low until soft. Stir in paprika and cumin, cook about a minute and then add prunes, olives, stock and butter. Cook, stirring, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer contents of pan to a 12- to 14-inch tagine, sauté pan or casserole. Place chicken on top, skin side up. 3.Cover and cook on medium-low heat about 40 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Serve immediately or set aside to be reheated. To serve, scatter lemon zest and mint over the chicken, squeeze juice of the lemon on top and bring tagine to the table covered.

I served this tagine with a side of quinoa, and it was the perfect meal. It was hearty and satisfying, but it didn't feel too heavy.

I would make this again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less oil, and I would add some vegetables, such as carrots or potatoes.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the flavors were good.

This tagine was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with fewer prunes or a different type of dried fruit.

This was my first time making tagine, and it was a success! The chicken was flavorful and juicy, and the prunes and olives added a nice touch of sweetness and acidity. I'll definitely be making this again.

This tagine was absolutely delicious! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the prunes and olives added a wonderful sweetness and savory flavor. I served it over couscous, and it was the perfect comfort food for a cold winter night.
