Ingredients:
  • 8 chicken thigh fillets (about 1kg), halved
  • 18.40 gm vegetable oil
  • 1 brown onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 2.50 gm ground cumin
  • 400g can crushed tomatoes
  • 400g can chickpeas, rinsed, drained

  • 125ml chicken stock
  • 28.60 gm honey
  • Steamed couscous, to serve
  • 30.00 ml toasted slivered almonds, to serve
  • Coriander leaves, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large ovenproof casserole dish over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in batches for 5 minutes until nicely browned all over. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  • In the same dish, heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Stir in the onion and cook for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, coriander, and cumin, cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the tomato, chickpeas, apricot, stock, and honey. Season with salt and pepper, bring to a boil. Return the chicken to the dish, cover, and bake in the oven for 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  • Present the chicken tagine over fluffy couscous and generously garnish with almonds and fresh coriander leaves.
  • Prepare a generously sized oven-proof casserole dish with a fitting lid for the recipe.
