This is a hearty and healthy Moroccan stew that's easy to make. It's packed full of veggies and protein, and can be served on a bed of couscous or mopped up with pieces of bread. This tagine uses preserved lemons to create its one-of-a-kind complex flavour. I've attached my recipe for the lemons below.

Ingredients:
- 2 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 6 pieces

Steps:
