Ten stars!!! Wow, absolutely delicious! The sauce is to die for, and yet this is a quick and easy dish to put together! I browned the chicken and sauteed the onions in a regular skillet, but cooked the mixture in my tagine. I made enough to have leftovers, but there wasn't a drop of anything left. :-) Made for SWT 2019 - The Traveling Tastebuds

What a delicious savory sweet recipe. I made a smaller amount using 2 chicken thighs and cooked it in the tagine. All of the wonderful flavor's were pure pleasure on the tongue, don't be afraid of the spices. Aside from using the thighs, doubling the cinnamon and oven cooking in the tagine for 30 mins @ 350 I followed the directions and was gifted with a wonderful meal. Served with whole wheat couscous.
