Ingredients

1 Tbsp olive oil
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
salt and pepper - to season chicken
4 carrots - peeled and diced
1 yellow onions - chopped
½ cup chopped dried apricots
½ cup raisins
1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
900 ml chicken broth
¼ cup tomato paste
1 Tbsp honey
3 garlic cloves - minced
2 tsp ground cumin
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground coriander
½ tsp ground black pepper
rice or couscous - to serve with (optional)

Instructions

Season the chicken with salt. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken for about 2 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to a plate. Add a splash of broth to the pan and scrape up any browned bits. Set this liquid aside.
Add chopped and sliced onions and diced carrots to the bottom of the slow cooker. Layer the seared chicken thighs on top. Pour in the juices and scraps from the skillet. Sprinkle chopped apricots and raisins over everything.
In a bowl, whisk together flour and a bit of broth until smooth. Stir in tomato paste, honey, minced garlic, cumin, cinnamon, paprika, coriander, black pepper, and the remaining broth. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours, or until the chicken is fork-tender and the sauce has thickened.
Serve the Moroccan chicken hot over couscous or rice. Optional: garnish with fresh herbs or lemon wedges.

Recipe Notes:

You can use chicken breasts, but thighs stay more tender in the slow cooker.
Swap raisins for golden raisins or dried cranberries.
For a richer sauce, add 1–2 tablespoons of butter at the end.
