Moroccan Chicken Tagine with Green Olives, Peppers and Lemon

By :Mediterranean Living

This Moroccan inspired dish is a fusion between a Mediterranean recipe and the flavors of New England. We have cooked this for thousands of people in our workshops and many have told us that we should bottle the sauce. It is the perfect blend of sweet and tangy, combining honey, molasses and Dijon mustard with Moroccan spices.
