Low Carb Chicken Tagine

This keto chicken stew is inspired by a classic Moroccan tagine. Rich with aromatic spices, the stew can be enjoyed on its own as a light lunch, or accompanied by some cauliflower rice for a filling dinner.

The recipe calls for ras el hanout seasoning, however if you are unable to obtain this, this can be replaced by a teaspoon of any Moroccan spice mix. Where the recipe utilizes a shop bought stock, this could be subbed for a home made bone broth.

        I want to try this dish. Looks yummy. But got a question on the spices. Are the ground spices a replacement for the Ras El Hanout or are they an addition to the Ras El Hanout.

          This is delicious. Although I didn’t put onion in as my husband can’t eat it, so added 2 more tomatoes and a red pepper. Also didn’t have preserved lemons, so put in a quarter of a fresh one and removed it after cooking. Will definitely be a returning favourite.
