What to do with Leftover Chicken.

Leftovers is not a dirty word, though when I was first married Tom seemed to think so.  Yes, there is chicken curry, chicken salad, Tetrezzini, chicken enchiladas not to mention chicken suprise!  But I am guessing many of us are in the mood for something a little more interesting.
How about Chicken Tagine?  I made this for my friends the Reardons the other night.



                                     Chicken Tagine with dried Apricots and Almonds

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon dried ginger

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

1/2 teaspoon cumin

Black pepper

1 medium spanish onion, sliced

4 large cloves of garlic

1 lemon, zest and juice

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

1/2 cup chopped parsley

1 1/2 cups chicken stock or left over gravy

1/4 cup toasted almonds

1/2 cup dried apricots

3-4 cups cooked chopped chicken

Firstly slice the onions and saute in olive oil until they become translucent.  Add the dried spice mixture and garlic. 

Cook a few more minutes.  Add the chicken stock, lemon, apricots and chicken.  Cook 10 minutes on medium high heat.  Salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving sprinkle in the fresh herbs and when plated garnish with the toasted almonds.

This should be enough for 4 adults.
