Casablanca Curried Chicken (Tagine)

Casablanca Curried Chicken (Tagine) by Salad Foodie

A healthy Moroccan thick stew or tagine to enjoy with rice, couscous or pita bread. Suit the degree of curry and hot pepper to your family’s taste. Lamb or beef can be subbed for chicken. Leftovers improve in flavor, and freeze well too.
