I enjoy shredded chicken dishes, Moroccan seasonings and pita sandwiches. The addition of the carrot salad laced with dates and pomegranate seeds lends an extra punch and crunch. Mini flour tortillas can be substituted for pitas. -Arlene Erlbach, Morton Grove, Illinois

I'm not usually a fan of chicken tagine, but this recipe changed my mind. The combination of spices and the crispy filo dough was perfect.

This was my first time making tagine and it turned out amazing! The chicken was so tender and the sauce was flavorful and aromatic.
