Probably one of the best chicken recipes in the world, this moroccan classic is a sure hit. I'm using two chicken because this meal is traditionally intended for big family gatherings. If you decide to cook one chicken only, simply reduce the amount of ingredients by a quarter or a third. There's never too much sauce!
Ingredients:
-2 chicken (around 3 pounds each / 1.5 kg each)
-6 to 8 medium sized onions
-1 small bunch of flat leaves parsley
-1 small bunch of cilantro
-Half a preserved lemon
-4 cloves of garlic
-1/2 tsp black pepper
-1/2 tsp white pepper
-1 tsp paprika
-2 tsp ground ginger
-1.5 tsp turmeric
-2 to 3 tsp salt
-1 pinch of safran
-1 tsp smenn (moroccan preserved butter) (optional)
-Olive oil (preferably moroccan)
-Butter
-Water
Ideally served with crusty bread and/or homemade fries. I love to have it with buttery white rice too.

4 Cloves of Garlic
2 Preserved Lemons
15g Parsley
15g Coriander
2 Tbsp Olive oil
1 Tbsp Harrisa

75g Mixed black and green pitted olives
2 Tbsp Olive oil
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 Tsp salt
1/2 Tsp Ground Ginger
Marinade from above
Directions:
To make the Charmoula:
1- Slice your preserved lemons into quarters, then scoop out their flesh. Roughly chop to a smaller size and place in a bowl
2- Remove the stalks from your parsley and coriander then chop it to a fairly small size
3- Mince the garlic, then add it to the bowl. Place the saffron in a mortar with a pinch of salt and grind into a powder. Once pulverized, add a tablespoon of boiling water and mix well
4- Add the saffron mixture to the bowl as well as the spices and harissa, then mix well making sure to grind down the lemon
To make the chicken:
1- Seperate the skin of the chicken from the meat using your fingers, then apply the marinade onto and under the skin. Ensure it is all well coated
2- Set the chicken aside to marinade for a few hours or a minimum of half an hour. You can cook this in any pan or a tagine if you have one
3- Start off by adding the olive oil to your cooking vessel, then add in the onion chopped to a small dice. Add in the salt and ginger and mix well
4- Turn the heat to low and let the vessel heat up, once the onions start to release some steam and sweat, add your chicken on top of the onions
5- Cover the cooking vessel with a lid, and turn to medium heat then allow to cook for 10 minutes
6- At this point the chicken should have released loads of liquid so turn the heat to low and set a timer for 20-30 minutes
7- When the chicken looks cooked, you'll add in the olives and the lemon juice. Feel free to baste the chicken with the liquid
8- Cook for 10 more minutes covered, then you can cook uncovered to reduce the sauce if needed
9- Serve with some soft but crusty bread

MOROCCAN CHICKEN TAGINE WITH PRESERVED LEMONS AND OLIVES || Tagine Chicken Recipe with Apricot #DIFK
In this video, we show you how to make a Moroccan Chicken Tagine with Preserved Lemons and Olives. This Tagine Chicken Recipe with Apricots is absolutely delicious and brings back the amazing flavours that we experienced in Morocco. Tagine is the name of the Moroccan Clay Pot with a cone-shaped lid that is used to traditionally cook all types of food in Morocco. We often ate this Moroccan Chicken Tagine with preserved Lemons and Olives during our trips to Marakesh and it is one of the most common flavour combinations in that part of the world. We tried to recreate the same Tagine Chicken Recipe that we enjoyed in Morocco with Apricots and we must admit that it tasted almost identical to what we ate there.
To make the Moroccan Chicken marinade, you will need:
2 small preserved lemons (use the flesh first and save the peel for the end)
1 baby chicken (cut into small pieces)
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
salt to taste (the preserved lemons can be salty too, so add salt accordingly)
2 grated garlic cloves
2 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 cup finely chopped coriander
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
2 tbs olive oil
saffron soaked in hot water then 2-3 tsp saffron water
To prepare the onions for the tagine:
1-2 tbs olive oil
1 large onion (grated and sliced)
salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
2-3 tsp saffron water
6-8 dried apricots (halved)
Handful green olives
fresh lemon juice
lemon rind from the preserved lemons
Cook on a medium flame for 15-20 minutes, then reduce heat to low and cook for at least 1 hour until the chicken is tender and cooked. Always use a heat diffuser or a heavy pan to sit the Tagine on when cooking (to prevent any damage).
We served the Moroccan Chicken Tagine with roasted potatoes, mushrooms and cauliflower, and a side of homemade cinnamon and orange cranberry sauce. Traditionally Chicken Tagines are served with couscous, vegetables or even crusty bread.
Moroccan cuisines is packed full of flavour, especially when the food is slow-cooked in the Tagine. It is also healthy too as very little oil is used and lots of fresh produce is consumed.

We hope you have seen how easy it is to prepare this delicious Moroccan Chicken Tagine with Preserved Lemons and Olives (as well as apricots), and we hope you can put your tagine to use with this amazing recipe. If you do not have a tagine then you can apply the same ingredients and cook it in a pot on the stove (like a casserole pot) or even bake it in the oven (adjust cooking times accordingly).
