LENTIL & CHICKEN TAGINE

Lentil & Chicken Tagine image

This recipe is good even without the chicken. I use my pressure cooker to cut down on the cook time. If you are using a regular pot the time should be doubled.

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 small chicken bouillon cubes or 1/2 large chicken bouillon cube

Place all the ingredients into the pressure cooker or regular pot.
Cook for 8 minutes after the pressure cooker begins to hiss. Release the pressure, open the lid & stir. Add more water if needed then cover. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

In Morocco, this tagine is served with thick bread to scoop up the lentils & chicken.
