Chicken Tagine
Are you one of 45 million Americans on a diet? Then you eat a lot of chicken! This is a super easy to prepare American version of a Moroccan Tagine (which translate to stew). This is not an authentic Tagine that is cooked in a clay vessel but we enjoy this as a healthy chicken recipe that is quick and easy to prepare while being full of complex Moroccan flavor.
This is a low calorie meal that is rich in protein but still hardy enough to fill you up, the perfect meal for those watching their weight but also craving culinary magic. Now we love to use lots of spices when cooking but sometimes it is just easier to use a blend and this Moroccan Chicken Spice Rub saved us a few steps along the way.
