Chicken Tagine

So this recipe is from a cooking book called "Budget Dinners" from Good Housekeeping publishing.
We altered it a bit to add bit of "zing" to the recipe.

BTW, slow cooker is needed for this.

Anyway, here is how we do it.

1 medium butternut squash - peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
1 head of cauliflower - chopped
2 medium tomatoes - chopped
1 medium onion - chopped
2 cloves garlic - crushed with press (or minced)
1 can (15 to 19 ounce) garbanzo beans - rinsed and drained
1 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup raisins
2 tsp ground coriander
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt (I ended up putting more on my plate later)
1/4 tsp pepper (same here)
3 lbs chicken breast (or bone-in thighs)
1 box (10 ounces) plain couscous
1/2 cup pitted green olives

In 6-quart slow cooker, combine squash, tomatoes, onion, garlic, beans, broth, and raisins.
In cup, combine coriander, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and ground black pepper.
Rub spice mixture over the chicken breast; place chicken on top of the vegetable mixture in the cooker.
Cover and cook for 8 hours on low setting for 4 hours on high setting (we cooked on 8 hour setting).

About 10 minutes before serving, prepare couscous as box directs.

To serve, fluff couscous with fork. Stir olives into chicken mixture.

It's definitely a great comfort food. It takes a long time to cook but prep time shouldn't take too long.

Hope you guys can try this one at home too!

Enjoy!
