Tip

 Thigh fillets can also be used but reduce the cooking time by 15-20 minutes.

If a tagine is not available, a large frypan with fitted lid will work.

    This was delicious! As I don't have a tagine, I browned the chicken in a frying pan, transferred it all to a glass baking dish and covered it with foil. I might marinate the chicken for a bit when I try it next time, and there will definitely be a next time.
