Chicken Tagine Crock Pot Recipes
Description
Chicken tagine is a traditional Moroccan dish that is slow cooked in a clay pot. The ingredients are typically chicken, vegetables, and spices, and the dish is usually served with couscous or bread. The slow cooking process helps to bring out the flavors of the ingredients and makes the chicken incredibly tender. This Crock Pot version of the dish is a great way to get all the flavors of a traditional tagine without the need for a clay pot.
Prep Time
This Crock Pot Chicken Tagine recipe requires about 15 minutes of prep time. You will need to gather your ingredients, chop the vegetables, and mix together the spices. This dish is best cooked low and slow, so it is worth taking the time to make sure you have everything ready to go before you start the cooking process.
Cook Time
This Chicken Tagine recipe takes 6-8 hours to cook in a Crock Pot. It is best to set it on low and let it cook slowly to help bring out the flavors of the ingredients. You can also cook it on high for 4-5 hours, but the flavors may not be as intense.
