Ingredients

8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
2 large onions, thinly sliced
4 large carrots, thinly sliced
½ cup raisins
½ cup dried apricots, chopped
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons garlic salt
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cups water
2 cups couscous
1 tablespoon butter

Directions

Layer chicken thighs, onions, carrots, raisins, and apricots in a slow cooker.
Whisk chicken broth, tomato paste, lemon juice, flour, garlic salt, cumin, ginger, cinnamon, paprika, and pepper together in a bowl. Pour over chicken and vegetables.
Cook on High 4 1/2 hours or on Low for 7 1/2 hours. Shred chicken slightly using 2 forks. Continue cooking 30 minutes.
Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a saucepan; remove from heat and stir in couscous and butter. Cover saucepan and let stand until water is absorbed completely, 5 to 10 minutes. Fluff couscous with a fork. Serve chicken tagine over couscous.

Cook’s Note

You can substitute 5 or 6 halved chicken breasts for the 8 chicken thighs.

If you have ras el hanout spice on hand, add a teaspoon to the broth mixture for added flavor.
