Tagine with chicken

This is my favourite Moroccan dish, I love all tagines but especially this one with chicken. There's a million ways to make it, can use anything you want, meat, vegetables, fish.. This is one way that I like. What I like about this dish is that it's so easy to make and you can put anything you like on it, according to your taste.
I love the sauce so I put a lot of water in tagine but you can also use less water.

Ingredients:

-2-3 chicken breast/thigh
-6-8 potatoes
-1 onion
-garlic (as much as you like)
-coriander
-turmeric, sweet pepper, black pepper, cumin, salt according to your taste
-1 tomato
-oil
-peas
-water


How to make:

1. Cut the coriander, onion and garlic. Peel tomato and cut it into small pieces.
2. Mix the spices, coriander, onion, garlic and tomato with chicken.
3. Add some oil to tagine or kettle, make it hot and add the chicken mix.
4. Fry the chicken and garnish until it gets brown then hide the chicken with water and let it boil for about 40 minutes. Add spices if needed.
5. Peel potatoes and cut them in pieces.
6. When chicken is almost done add potatoes and peas and keep boiling for 10-20 minutes.
7. Check the taste and serve with white bread.
