This recipe is from the Le Souk Ceramique website and is DELICIOUS! I modified it to include only breasts. If you don't have a tajine, use a large saucepan. If you do have a tajine, it's important to use a heat defuser on your burner. I have purchased two from Le Souk and they are WONDERFUL. The clay distributes the heat and the shape of the tajine makes for perfectly steam cooked meals! DO follow the directions for curing the tajine before using (very easy). Don't let not having a tajine keep you from trying this recipe and bring a bit of healthy Moroccan cuisine to your kitchen!
