Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Cooked couscous or rice (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken, onion, garlic, diced tomatoes, chickpeas, chicken broth, and dried apricots into your slow cooker.
  2. In a separate small bowl, mix together the olive oil, cumin, coriander, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper.
  3. Pour the spice mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker. Stir gently to coat everything evenly.
  4. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
  6. Before serving, shred some of the chicken with two forks if desired, or leave it chunky.
  7. Serve hot over couscous or rice, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can briefly sauté the onions and garlic in the olive oil on the stovetop before adding them to the slow cooker.
  • Adjust the cayenne pepper to match your preferred level of heat.
  • If the stew seems too thin, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow some liquid to evaporate.
