Classic Moroccan Chicken Tagine with olives and preserved lemons | Slow Cooked Chicken recipe
The original Moroccan Chicken tajine recipe, with easy to find ingredients and a simple method.
ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you have a gas stove you MUST use a heat diffuser to avoid burning and cracking the bottom of the tagine. A diffuser is a flat metal paddle that sits between the burner and the tagine and, as the name says, diffuses the heat so the ceramic doesn't crack and break. Place the diffuser first, then the Tagine on top of it.
I didn't use any diffuser because I don't have a gas stove.
