Pandemic Cooking: Moroccan Chicken Tagine Recipe

We wanted to find some good recipes to cook in our tagine, and came across this recipe online.
Chicken Tagine is a traditional Moroccan dish, braised with spices, garlic, onion, olives, and lemon.
We tried it for the first time over couscous, and the taste was delicate and wonderful.
On the second day, we reheated it and served along our homemade sourdough bread, for a second delicious meal.
