Chicken Tagine

Nothing like a taste of North Africa 

Ingredients

  • 2 table spoons Olive Oil
  • 4 Chicken breasts 
  • 1 onion chopped 
  • 1 table spoon of root ginger 
  • 150 -200 ml water
  • bit of turmeric / Cumin powder 
  • 1 table spoon of honey 
  • parsley roughly chopped 
  • Lemon to serve if wanted 

Method 


    • Pre heat the oven to 190c.
    • Heat the oil in a large, wide pan with a lid, add the chicken, then fry quickly until lightly colored. Add the onion and ginger, then fry for a further 2 mins.
    • In a move the chicken into a Tagine or a casserole dish with a lid. add the water to the dish (start with 150 ml, if more is needed then add it) and add Carrots, honey and turmeric than place in preheated oven. 
    • Leave in the oven for 40-45 minutes, checking half way through, if it looks to dry then add the remainder of the water. 
    • Serve 

    I find this goes well with couscous, olives and extra parsley
