Chicken in a tagine
Description
I absolutely love Arabic and Middle Eastern cuisines. I really enjoy the method of cooking dishes in a tagine. The dishes turn out very juicy and tender, yet spicy and aromatic at the same time. Chicken tagine is a classic Moroccan recipe, a traditional festive dish. I highly recommend trying it—you'll love it!
