Chicken, Olive, and Zucchini Tajine with No Sugar and Low Glycemic Index

Here is a mouthwatering tajine dish with chicken, olives, and zucchini to warm you up. I made it for Sunday lunch. It is obviously low glycemic index (GI) and with the spices, the taste of the vegetables is delicious, as my daughter would say. The great thing is that it is simple to make and gives the impression that you are a super skilled cook.
