Immerse yourself in the exotic, aromatic world of Moroccan cuisine with this Halal Chicken and Olive Tagine. This flavorful stew features halal chicken pieces braised slowly with a heady mix of saffron, ginger, turmeric, and cumin. The unique flavor comes from the addition of preserved lemons and briny green olives, which provide a distinctive, salty, and tangy contrast to the mild, savory chicken. The long, slow simmer in a tagine (or Dutch oven) ensures the chicken is incredibly tender and the sauce is rich and complex. Serve over fluffy couscous to soak up the luxurious, flavorful sauce.
