Easy Chicken Tagine

Recipe by Rachel Ray

• 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 – 1 3/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into cubes
• 1 1/2 tsp Montreal Steak seasoning
• 2 medium or 1 large yellow onion, quartered and sliced
• 10 pitted prunes, cut in half
• 1/4 cup golden raisins
• 2 cups chicken stock
• Spice mixture: 1/ 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1 1/2 tsp ground paprika, 1/2 tsp ground coriander, 1/2 tsp tumeric, 1/8 tsp cinnamon
• Jarred Mango chutney

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add EVOO and add smashed garlic. Season chicken with Montreal Steak seasoning. Scatter chicken around pan in an even layer. Cook chicken 2 minutes on each side to brown. Add onions, prunes and raisins. Mix spices and sprinkle over pot. Cook 2 minutes and then add chicken stock. Cover and cook 7 or 8 minutes. Remove lid & stir. Cook another 5 – 7 minutes uncovered to allow sauce to thicken slightly.

Serve on a bed of couscous or quinoa garnished with mango chutney.

Recipe Notes: Dewey and I both love this recipe. I have to say, though, that the mango chutney really makes this recipe so don’t skip it. Mango chutney can be found in the Indian section of most grocery stores.
