Tangerine Chicken Tagine

My family and friends love foods from around the world, especially Moroccan entrees, so I created this flavorful dish. Cooking it in the slow cooker keeps each morsel moist and rich in flavor. —Brenda Watts, Gaffney, South Carolina

Test Kitchen tips
  • This is an awesome way to introduce your family to parsnips. The tangy sauce whisks away any trace of bitterness.
  • Tagine isn't just the name of the delicious stuff inside — it's also the name of the cone-lidded clay pot traditionally used to cook it! LI>
  • Curry powder comes in varying degrees of spiciness, so keep an eye on what you buy and make sure it matches your love of heat.

      Soooooo good! Its asian meets indian cuisine. I served it over white rice. I used chicken thighs instead of a whole chicken but it turned out great. Needed some spice though! Like red pepper flakes.
