But first what is chicken tagine?
Tagine is a slow cooked stew that is flavored with various anti-inflammatory spices often including coriander, saffron, turmeric, and sometimes cinnamon. For savory tagines often preserved lemons and olives are added toward the end of the cook time. For sweet and spicy tagine often dried fruits such as apricots, prunes, or raisins are added.
A Tagine is a traditional earthenware cooking pot that has a wide base and a funnel shaped lid.
