Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a large Dutch oven or tagine, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Add the onions and garlic to the Dutch oven and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the carrots and potatoes to the Dutch oven and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add the chickpeas, dried apricots, dates, almonds, and spices to the Dutch oven and stir to combine.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Add the chicken back into the Dutch oven, cover, and transfer to the oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro, if desired, and serve.
