Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon Moroccan spice mix
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 3 pounds chicken thighs boneless, skinless; or chicken breasts
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 onion roughly chopped
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup chicken broth low-sodium
- 1 chickpeas 14.5 ounces canned, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup dried apricot
- 1/3 cup almonds sliced, roasted
Instructions
- Combine the Moroccan spices, flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the chicken and brown on both sides, about 4 minutes total. Remove and place in the slow cooker. Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan and repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Heat the final tablespoon of oil in the skillet and add the chopped onion. Sauté until just soft, about two or three minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker.
- Add the bay leaf, chicken broth, chickpeas, and apricots to the slow cooker. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours. Remove the bay leaf, taste the sauce, and add additional salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve garnished with almond slices.

Notes
- Store Moroccan Apricot Chicken in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. To freeze, place it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
- To reheat, thaw it in the fridge overnight if frozen, then warm it on the stovetop over medium heat or in the microwave until heated through. Add a splash of chicken broth if the sauce thickens too much during reheating.
