Chicken Tagine Recipe

	Cristi35 / All my dishes 6 months ago I dated a guy from morocco for awhile and fell in love with the food! This is a close dish with more local ingredients and with leaner chicken. But the same great exotic flavors! Prep:20m Cook:30120m Servings:4	Cristi35

Ingredients

3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs if you prefer)

1-2 cloves garlic

2 shallots

1 bell pepper

1 summer or zuchinni squash

1-2 potatoes

2 carrots or 10 baby carrots

1 rutubega

1 can of fire roasted tomatoes

Good handful of raisins

1 tbsp coriander

1 tbsp cinnamon

1 heaping tbsp cumin

Garlic salt to taste

2 Cups chicken broth

Olive oil or olive oil spray

slivered almonds for garnish

Directions

I do this in a pressure cooker, but a large deep skillet with a lid will work

Cut Chicken into bite size pieces

get skillet hot and then spray with olive oil spray, or if your not watching your weight like me drizzle oil in the hot pan

season chicken with garlic salt and sear in pan

while it is searing finely chop garlic and shallots

add to pan stirring occasionally while chopping bell pepper, squash, potatoes, carrots and rutubega into bite size pieces (i dont peel them just wash them, but if you dont like the skins feel free)

Add to the pan as you chop and make sure and season each layer

add can of fire roasted tomatoes (you can roast your own if you like but i think the canned ones are actually better)

add chicken broth, raisins and all of the seasonings and stir well

If you are in a pressure cooker put the lid on and keep on high heat until it whistles, turn heat to low for about 15 minutes and then turn off and let cool.

If you are in the skillet bring to a boil and then put on lid and bring to low heat and allow to simmer for about 2 hours or until meat is very tender and falling apart. If you use this method it may be necessary to add additional broth as you cook

Serve over cous cous and sprinkle with almonds
