The struggle to find something new and interesting to serve for dinner is real. Chicken is a staple for so many of us, but what to do with it? A tagine is an excellent choice, especially for weeknight cooking. Get it started when you get home and let it cook away while you handle the mail, help with homework, or just relax a bit. In no time you’ll be treated to a delicious and uncommon meal thanks to the circulating steam within the tagine. The tagine is not essential, but it does cook this type of dish well. Plus, it makes an excellent serving dish.
