Slow cooker Moroccan chicken: tender chicken thighs cooked with spices, onions, green olives, lemons, and raisins for a flavorful dish.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup pitted green olives
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat (don't trim all the fat, just large pieces)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed fennel seeds
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 red onion, roughly chopped, about 2 cups
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 Tbsp)
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 fresh lemon, thinly sliced
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
Instructions:
  • Season the chicken thighs with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and set aside while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
  • Combine the spices in a small bowl and whisk together until well blended—paprika, ground ginger, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, allspice, crushed fennel seeds, and nutmeg.
  • Start by arranging a bed of chopped onions at the base of your slow cooker. Next, lay the chicken thighs on top of the onions, ensuring to evenly coat them all with the entire spice mix. Finish by adding the garlic, green olives, raisins, and lemon slices for a burst of flavor.
  • In the slow cooker, set on high for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or on low for 4 to 5 hours. Stir in lemons, olives, and raisins during the final stages of cooking. Chicken is ready when tender. Serve with couscous or rice (use rice for a gluten-free option) and top with fresh cilantro and/or parsley before serving.
