Moroccan Chicken Tagine with Apricots and Almonds Recipe

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I prebrowned the lamb the night before I made this dish because I needed to crockpot it since I was not going to have any time in the evening to make this dish. Kept it on low all day and when I got home, it was so nice to have one of the dishes I was making for a dinner party done and ready to go. Since it was in the crockpot, I upped the chicken broth to 2 cups and added 2 cups of water. Extra prunes and spices and it turned out wonderful. I would definitely make this again, maybe even the right way next time ;-)
