In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of saffron. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a large pot or tagine over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the marinated chicken to the pot and brown on all sides. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Pour in the chicken broth, add the honey, and stir in the remaining spices (ginger, cinnamon, saffron). Bring to a simmer.
Return the chicken to the pot. Add the dried apricots and almonds. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
While the tagine is simmering, prepare the couscous according to package directions.
Serve the chicken tagine over a bed of fluffy couscous. Garnish with fresh cilantro and toasted almonds.
This is a fantastic recipe! The combination of flavors is amazing, and the chicken is so tender and succulent. I especially loved the addition of almonds for the crunchy texture. Absolutely delicious!
A very good and easy recipe. I loved the flavors, and the almonds gave it a nice texture. The only thing I would change is maybe adding a little more liquid to keep the chicken from drying out. Still a great meal, though.
This recipe is amazing! The flavors are complex and delicious. The chicken was falling off the bone. I made a double batch because I knew it would be a hit. Highly recommend!
This tagine was really tasty! The flavors were well-balanced and the chicken was tender. I made it for a dinner party, and everyone loved it. The almonds provided a nice contrast to the sweet apricots.
Not a fan. The flavors were too overpowering for me. It tasted a bit too sweet and I didn't enjoy the spices. I won't be making this again.
