Moroccan Chicken Tajine

by Vincent
Chicken Tajine

When you are looking for a nice comforting and flavorful chicken meal, look no further than this Moroccan chicken tajine.

This chicken tajine has a different take than some of the usual flavors you would get with dried apricots, olives, thyme, etc. It takes its sweetness from the sweet potatoes and honey.

In this case I used chicken breasts, but it works really well also with chicken thighs on or off the bones.

This dish pairs best served on a bed of lemony couscous with plenty of sauce.
