Slow Cooker Moroccan Chicken

This is a delicious and easy chicken dinner, made in a slow cooker with spicy Moroccan sauce, onions, chickpeas and served over pearl couscous mixed with almonds and cilantro! YUM!

I’ve had an insane few weeks. It’s the end of my Fall semester at school, so of course, everything is due in November and beginning of December. Last week, it was our anniversary (6 years!) and this week, it was Thanksgiving. Holidays are pretty busy as it is but you add an anniversary and extra school work and you get chaos!

We had a great getaway for our anniversary. We went away for the weekend and stayed at the B&B on a beach. It was so nice to just unplug and do nothing! Then we had to come back to the real world. Thanksgiving prep and homework!

Very little time for cooking…

My slow cooker comes out a lot during this time of year. I love the easiness of slow cooking and I love the tenderness of the meats.

I recently discovered the new product from Campbell’s. It’s Campbell’s Slow Cooker Sauces and they are fantastic! They are complete sauces that come in six different flavors and you don’t even need to add anything if you don’t have the time and your fridge is empty (yes, it actually had happened to me before). You can find these Slow Cooker Sauces in Tavern Style Pot Roast, Sweet Korean BBQ, Hawaiian Luau, Moroccan Spiced Stew and Mexican Red Chile Taco.

So far, I’ve tried the Moroccan chicken and pot roast. They were both simply delicious!

This Moroccan chicken was the first time I tried the sauce and it was very well received by the family. It’s a bit spicy and you know it’s good when my husband eats something spicy and even licks the plate! He does not usually like anything spicy but he even asked for seconds this time!

Best part is that it only takes about five minutes to prep and then you close the slow cooker and go about your day. What you get is  simply amazing weeknight dinner!
