Steps:
- In a large-sized mixing bowl big enough to hold your chicken, combine your chicken spices - salt, ginger, saffron, black pepper, white pepper, Ras el Hanout, and turmeric. Stir until well combined.
- Add in your raw pieces of chicken, and toss until the spice blend evenly coats all chicken pieces.
- In a large tagine pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter and add olive oil, onions, garlic, and cinnamon sticks.
- Place the seasoned chicken in the tagine, meat-side down. The chicken should be in a single layer, sitting on top of the onions. Once the chicken is in the pot, place the bouquet of fresh cilantro on top.
- Place the water in the chicken bowl and swirl to collect any leftover spices, then add the water to the tagine. Cover the tagine and let the liquids reach a simmer, keeping the burner's heat medium-low.
- Once the tagine reaches a simmer, cook the chicken, undisturbed, for ~ 1 hr.
- After 1 hr, remove the tagine's lid, remove a ½ c. of cooking liquids, and set aside. Remove the liquid carefully, as it will be piping hot at this point!
- Slowly flip the chicken in the pan until the meat side faces up. Cover the tagine again, and continue simmering for another 30-60 mins, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the liquid reduces.
- As the chicken cooks, place the dried apricots in a small pot of water and cover. Heat the pot over medium heat and simmer, partially covered for 10-15 mins, or until the apricots are tender enough to pinch in half.
- Remove the apricot pot from the heat and drain in a strainer in the sink, then return the apricots to the pot.
- Add the coconut sugar or honey, ground cinnamon, and ½ c. of the cooking liquid you reserved into the apricot pot, then return the mixture to a gentle simmer for 5-10 mins, until the liquid becomes a thick syrup.
- Open your tagine and remove the cilantro and cinnamon sticks.
- Remove the cooked chicken, arrange it on a large serving platter, or serve in the tagine itself!
- Spoon the stewed apricots on the chicken, and top with fried almonds or sesame seeds.
- Serve and enjoy your Moroccan chicken recipe with apricots!

CHICKEN TAGINE WITH APRICOTS AND HONEY
A tagine is a Moroccan clay pot used for long slow cooking or braising of succulent stews most often served with couscous. This is an Americanized version of a typical dish that one can easily prepare at home. I love the sweet and spicy contrast found in many dishes from this region and often add a bit of harissa.
