How to Make Chicken Tagine With Potatoes And Peas Morocco North Africa

  1. In a large flameproof casserole dish, combine 6 bone-in chicken breasts, 1 large onion (chopped), 4 cloves garlic (minced), 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon paprika, and 1 teaspoon salt. Pour in approximately 2 cups of water to cover.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
  3. Add 1 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 1 pound small potatoes (quartered). Continue to cook, covered, for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are nearly tender.
  4. Stir in 1 cup frozen peas. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 more minutes.
  5. If the sauce is still too thin, remove the lid and boil over medium heat until thickened to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Transfer to a preheated serving dish and serve immediately with crusty bread.
