Don’t have a tagine?
Use your slow cooker for Moroccan-style chicken.
Moroccan chicken, my favorite!
Elise Bauer
Chicken thighs, rubbed with an abundant amount of spices, cooked until tender with olives and lemons.
This is a slow cooker riff off our populartagine recipe.
The spice list is long, if you are missing one or two, don’t stress about it.

Feel free to experiment with the amounts and find what works for you.
Feel free to use bone-in thighs (you’ll need 2 1/2 pounds) if you prefer.
you’re able to substitute dates or prunes for the raisins.

Let sit while you prep the other ingredients.
Place chopped onions at the bottom of a slow cooker bowl.
Layer the chicken thighs on top of the onions.
Elise Bauer
As you layer the chicken thighs, sprinkle them all over with the spice mix.
(Use all of the spice mix.)
Add the garlic, green olives, raisins, and lemon slices.

Simple Tip!
Towards the end of cooking, stir so that the lemons olives and raisins get mixed into the liquid.
The chicken is done when it is fall apart tender.

Serve with couscous or rice (use rice if cooking gluten-free).
Garnish with fresh cilantro and/or parsley.
