Chicken tagine with onions and tomatoes is an easy and practical one-pot meal. It is not only quick to make, but it tastes incredibly delicious as well.

This tagine can be made with chicken or red meat, which is slowly braised with onions and spices, then topped with a mountain of onions and tomatoes that are cooked until they become soft and jammy.

Unlike most tagines, the Makfoul is not made with strong ingredients such as garlic and cilantro. It is instead lightly spiced with cinnamon, ginger and turmeric. A touch of sugar is added to cut the acidity of the tomatoes and help caramelize them.

In Marrakech, this tagine is called "Makfoul," which means closed or locked in Arabic. This refers to the fact that the protein (chicken in this course) is covered with the jammy onions and tomatoes. You can replace the chicken in this recipe with turkey, lamb, beef, or goat meat.
