This Moroccan-style recipe is so easy to make, it might just become a tradition in your household.

Ingredients

  • 1 onion, sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (Optional)

  • 2 large carrots, peeled and diced

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

  • 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed

  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 2-inch pieces

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes


Directions

  1. Place the onion, garlic, carrots, sweet potatoes, garbanzo beans, and chicken breast pieces into a slow cooker. In a bowl, mix the cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper, parsley, and salt, and sprinkle over the chicken and vegetables. Pour in the tomatoes, and stir to combine.

  2. Cover the cooker, set to High, and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened, 4 to 5 hours.

Cook's Note:

You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts, if you prefer. Increase the amount of salt if the flavor is too bland. This recipe is versatile: you can substitute red peppers, zucchini, etc. for other vegetables.
