Instant Pot™ Chicken and Chickpea Tagine

We skipped on the traditional earthenware tagine pot and opted for the Instant Pot™ instead in this easy, dinner-in-an-hour interpretation of a Moroccan classic. Save on cook time and cleanup without sacrificing any of the warm, rich and hearty flavors traditionally found in this dish. MORE+ LESS-

Expert Tips

After cooking thick soups and stews, always be sure to inspect the anti-block shield and exhaust valve in the lid of the Instant Pot™ to be sure they aren’t blocked with food.
Harissa is a Tunisian hot chili pepper paste made primarily from roasted and fresh peppers, garlic, coriander and oil. You can find it in the ethnic aisle at the grocery store.
