Moroccan Chicken Tagine with Preserved Lemons, Fennel, Olives, and Harissa

Description

Great spicy, exotic chicken dish. I created this mashup of several recipes to inaugurate my new tagine, but I think any skillet, loosely covered, should work. Serve over couscous.

  • ½ teaspoon ground cayenne
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
