Moroccan Almond Chicken Recipe

Ingredients
1 cup fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
2 large red bell peppers, chopped 
2 large tomatoes, diced 
1 small onion, chopped
2 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4" thick planks
1 large potatoes, cut into 1/2" slices or wedges
1/4 cup flaked almonds
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons olive oil

Directions
In a large bowl mix all ingredients by hand omitting the olive oil and broth. Pour enough of the olive oil into the tagine to coat the bottom. 

Layer the vegetable at the bottom of the tagine, and arrange by cooking times, vegetables that need longer cooking are placed at the bottom of the tagine. 

Add broth to the tagine, and place over medium heat. 

Cover the tagine, and bring the dish to a simmer. Adjust the heat to medium-low or low, checking occasionally to be sure that you can still hear the tagine simmering. 

Tagine is done when potatoes are fork tender, about 10 minutes.
