6 servings

  • 0.25 cup ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 cup ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons ground turmeric
  • 2 tablespoons ground coriander
  • 2 tablespoons ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons crushed dried mint
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 0.5 cup chopped dried apricots
  • 0.25 cup raisins
  • 4 bone-in chicken thighs
  • 0.25 cup olive oil, or as needed
  • 0.5 small onion, minced
  • 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 0.25 cup honey
  • 0.5 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 0.25 cup toasted sliced almonds

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.
