What's for dinner?.....Chicken Marrakesh! -Cali

(Slow cooker recipe)

Ready in 4 hours
Makes 6 servings

1 onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large carrots, diced
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
15-oz can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
2 lbs boneless chicken breasts, chopped into 2 inch pieces
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/4 cinnamon
1/2 tsp black ground pepper
14 1/2 oz can chopped tomatoes

1. Combine the first 6 ingredients in a slow cooker
2. In a small bowl, mix together spices. Sprinkle over the food in the slow cooker. Add the chopped tomatoes. Stir carefully.
3. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours.

-When I made this dish it was on a Sunday so I was gone for the whole 4 hours. The chicken was a little dry so I wish I could have add some water or maybe even more tomato juice half way through. Next time I'll definitely add extra liquid. It was delicious and tastes like a foreign dish. I loved it. It has your carbs, protein, fiber, veggies all in one. Enjoy. -CALI
