HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and sear until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.

02

Add chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, and turmeric powder, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

03

Return the seared chicken to the pot. Add diced tomatoes (undrained), chicken broth, cubed potatoes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

04

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.

05

Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash more chicken broth or water.

06

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

07

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Chef's Tips

Serve this tagine with couscous or rice to soak up the delicious sauce. For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or a bay leaf during simmering.

Easy Substitutions

You can use boneless, skinless chicken breast instead of thighs, but reduce cooking time slightly to prevent drying out. Sweet potatoes can be used in place of regular potatoes for a different flavor profile. For a vegetarian option, omit chicken and add chickpeas or lentils.
