How to Make Quick Easy Chicken Tagine
- Mince 2 cloves of garlic and finely chop 1 medium onion.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for 1-2 minutes until softened.
- Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1-inch pieces) to the skillet.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of your favorite Moroccan spice blend (or a combination of 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, and a pinch of cayenne pepper) over the chicken.
- Cook the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
- Stir in 1/2 cup pitted prunes, 1/4 cup raisins, and 1 cup of chicken stock.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes to reduce the sauce slightly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add more cayenne pepper for extra heat if desired.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving over your choice of grain and alongside grilled plantains.
