A wonderful departure from ordinary weeknight fare, a tagine is a North African curry, a wonderful mix of sweet and savory flavors. Ours features a hint of orange and a heady blend of spices that will fill your home with tantalizing aromas. Chicken thighs, a slow cooking star due to their ability to stay juicy in long cooking recipes, are coated in spices and slow cooked with chickpeas and vegetables to make a delightful stew. Serve as a special family dinner for a holiday twist or fun dinner party. The juicy stew pairs well over brown rice. Leftover chicken can be shredded and served over sturdy mixed baby kale with chickpeas. Spritz with a bit more orange to dress and enjoy!
