Moroccan Chicken Tagine with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Artichokes

i dated a guy from morocco and he cooked this for me often. didn't work out, but i still love the recipe none the less. i hope you enjoy! you can buy "tagine" spices in specialty food stores. these are from morocco and i suggest that you have them on hand as they go great with lots of other meats, especially lamb. you can use the "tagine" spice mixture (approx. 1 1/2-2 t and just add the saffron or you can use the spices below as noted to create your own "tagine" spice mixture.
