Chicken Tagine is a traditional North African dish, particularly popular in Moroccan cuisine. It's named after the earthenware pot in which it’s slow-cooked, allowing flavors to meld beautifully. This savory and slightly sweet stew typically features tender chicken, onions, garlic, and spices like turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and paprika, along with preserved lemons, olives, and dried fruits such as apricots or raisins. Often served over couscous or with a side of crusty bread, it’s rich in flavor and nutrients. Chicken Tagine is relatively healthy, as it’s packed with lean protein, fiber from dried fruits, and antioxidants from spices. It’s also low in saturated fat and high in vitamins from veggies like tomatoes or zucchini, often added. However, the sweetness from dried fruits and the salty preserved lemons may increase sugar and sodium content, so moderation is key for those watching their intake.
