Healthy Recipes Ingredient Meat & Poultry Chicken Chicken Tagine 4.5 (2) 2 Reviews This quick version of a traditional recipe can be made in about 30 minutes using a beloved kitchen hack: shredded rotisserie chicken! The shredded meat simmers briefly in a flavor-packed base that is rich with garlic and spices, sweetened with dates, and tangy from olives and preserved lemons. The addition of lentils and garbanzo beans makes this a hearty one-pot supper, though you can serve it with rice, couscous, or pita bread.

Cook Mode (Keep screen awake) Ingredients 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 medium yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup) pinch of salt 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 4 garlic cloves, minced 2 teaspoons ground turmeric 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon ½ preserved lemon peel, finely chopped 8 pitted Medjool dates, chopped ½ cup brown lentils 4 cups chicken stock 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 pinch saffron 1 cup pitted Castelvetrano olives 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed 1 whole store-bought rotisserie chicken (3 to 4 pounds) ¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley Directions In a medium Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook 1 minute longer, then stir in the turmeric, black pepper, and cinnamon and cook another 30 seconds. Stir in the preserved lemon, dates, and lentils. Pour in the stock and add the salt and saffron. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and stir in the olives and garbanzo beans. Cover the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are cooked through, about 25 minutes. While the tagine cooks, pull the meat from the chicken, discarding the skin and bones. Shred the meat into bite-size pieces and set aside; you should have about 4 1/2 cups chicken. Stir in the chicken and cook until the chicken is warmed through, 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the parsley.
