Build the Base
Remove chicken and set aside. Add sliced onion to the same pot and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in any remaining spices to coat the onion.
Slow Cook the Tagine
Return chicken to the pot and add dried apricots and chicken broth. Cover tightly and simmer on low heat for 35 minutes until chicken is completely tender.
Serve Over Couscous
