It was great for such a low cal, low fat, low sodium dish. However, it seemed lacking, and the things that would have brought it up to the taste of a really good tagine would make it no longer the healthy dish that it is. The oranges disinegrated. Apricots would probably hold up better, and maybe give it a more authentic taste? And some saffron? But it was really good-- and did I mention healthy? Thanks for something different to add to my low fat cook book!

this was excellent! the whole family loved it. I did use fresh mandarin because thats what i had, i burst them open with a fork after the first few hours. I served over rice that i cooked with chicken broth and garam masla. thanks for sharing.

This was really good. I was surprised how well all the flavors combined. My chicken was a little dry, next time I'll only cook it for maybe 7 hours. But all-in-all this is an awesome, easy, healthy dish. Thank you!

We really enjoyed this recipe and will absolutely make it again. I did use chicken broth instead of water - not sure if that made much of a difference. The only change I would make it to double up on the spices like other reviewers said. I meant to do that when I made it, but it's not easy to think at 6 am! It was still good, but would be better with double spices.

This was so easy, and the chicken just shredded at touch. I didn't have cumin so i used corriander and oregano. I read somewhere it would give the same type of flavor. Anyway, it came out GREAT! Thanks!
