Cheat’s Chicken and Vegetable Tagine with Lemon Couscous

A chicken tagine for two – ready in 15 minutes. You can also try small, peeled raw prawns instead of chicken.

Chicken Tagine

an amazing moroccan cook named naima taught me to make this dish. if you ever have the chance to buy a tagine (a clay cooking pot) it is worth it just to make this dish. serve the finished meal boiling hot and eat it the traditional way -- straight from the clay tagine. by the way, i have adjusted this recipe to use chicken breasts (which are more common in the west) but in morocco you would more likely get a cut such as a thigh. any piece of chicken will work just fine.
