Instructions
- Make the spice mix: Mix cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, coriander, ginger, mint, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Measure out 1/2 cup spice mix and set remaining mix aside for another use.
- Make the tagine: Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add apricots and raisins and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water.
- Place chicken and 1/2 cup reserved spice mix into a bowl; toss until thoroughly coated.
- Pour enough olive oil into a large skillet or Dutch oven to coat the bottom; turn heat to medium. Cook chicken in the hot skillet until golden brown and it releases easily from the skillet, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add apricots, raisins, and reserved 1/2 cup cooking water; stir in chicken broth and honey. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook until chicken is very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Serve chicken garnished with cilantro and almonds.
