...there are so many way to prepare chicken!
Yum, that looks delicious and suitable for any time of year.
You can't go wrong with this: chicken, garlic, olive oil, olives... mmmmmm!
I do love casseroles too Jan, love that you can just pop them in the oven and let them cook away as you get on with other things.. one of these days I'm going to get a slow cooker .☺
Bone-in gives it so much more flavour. This looks delicious.
Boa tarde, a sugestão é convidativa, sou apreciador da comida marroquina, os sabores são agradáveis.
Bom fim de semana,

now that's a winner...i just adore one pot meals. in a slow cooker, in the oven or stove top, they just can't be beat!!!
My mouth she is watering
I love Moroccan style food.
The ingredient I do not have is harissa spice mix. Was looking for a substitute. Red pepper flakes can be a substitute… but I am sure it lacks that very special taste of the harissa.
I imagine that could get spicy.
So yummy! I want some....Hugs, Valerie
looks a lot better than what I had for lunch :)
I've never used harissa spice mix before. I'll have to give it a try.
This sounds so lovely! I'm glad to be home and cooking myself!
Love Moroccan flavours. Yum.
Se ve muy sabroso. Besitos.

What's not to like? Yum!
Looks good and should imagine it would taste the same.
In Germany I haven´t found preserved lemons - what can I take instead?

Hello Iris, many thanks for your question.
You can thinly slice a fresh lemon and then sauté it over low heat with little olive oil, a few pinches of salt and sugar until the rinds are very soft. Cool slightly and then chop.
Or try using mild green olive(s) and some lemon juice, this can work if you haven't/can't get preserved lemons.
Hope you enjoy the dish
All the best Jan
Thank you, Jan! I think I´ll try both! Jamie Oliver uses those lemons, too, and I was always like... WHERE get them? Now I have two solutions :-)
Tagine!
It's been forever since I made preserved lemons.
Casseroles are always great ~ delish recipe!
Happy Weekend to you,
