Keto Chicken Tajine is a new variation of one of the most famous dishes in Moroccan cuisine. Tajine is a stew made in the container of the same name, typical of Moroccan cuisine. This recipe for chicken and vegetable tagine is one of the simplest that can be made in this magnificent clay pot with a conical lid, once we have cured it or prepared it for use in the kitchen.
Once prepared, the tajine can be kept at serving temperature for almost an hour, simply by keeping the lid on until serving time, making it comfortable if you have to do other things. It is normally served with naan or khubz or any other kind of bread. However, today I’m going to show you a brand new way to make it. This Keto Chicken Tajine is for anyone that follows the keto diet and is health conscious. Most of the ingredients are the same as traditional tajine, but we’ve changed the technique and served it with salad, instead.
