"Simple one-pots are perfect for the busy cook. This chicken tagine is great eaten with cous cous for something a bit more filling. You can make this dish using 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of thighs. Simply cut them in half and reduce the simmering time to 15 mins."

This is so good and so easy! I served it with couscous. There is nothing I can say about it that hasn't been said before. This will definitely be served again.

I wish I could give this more than 5 stars! It was so delicious. I used PAM in the place of oil. I didn't have tumeric or saffron in the house, so I left it out. Didn't make a difference. It was AMAZING. I served it over brown rice.

Yummy! Thanks for posting this recipe. It was easy and full of flavor. My finicky 20 yr old son said it should go into our meal rotation and as easy and inexpensive as it is, it will! I used the tumeric instead of the saffron as that's what I had on hand and saffron can be pricey. I also went the breasts rather that thigh route as that is also what I had on hand. I forgot to add the cumin, and didn't use lemon for the garnish but didn't miss them in the final result. With couscous and a side of broccoli it made a filling meal.
