Recipe By Slurrp

Moroccan Chicken Tagine is a flavorful and aromatic dish that combines tender chicken with preserved lemons, fennel, olives, and harissa. The chicken is slow-cooked in a traditional tagine pot, allowing the flavors to meld together and create a rich and savory sauce. The preserved lemons add a tangy and slightly salty taste, while the fennel and olives provide a hint of sweetness and brininess. The harissa adds a spicy kick, making this dish a perfect balance of flavors. Serve the Moroccan Chicken Tagine with couscous or crusty bread for a satisfying and exotic meal.
