Couscous, a famous Moroccan dish, makes a light and fluffy bed for this delicious Moroccan Chicken Stew recipe. Tomatoes, beans, raisins, and olives combine with chicken and an array of spices to create a stew that is overflowing with flavors and textures. Spoon this stew over a bowl of hot, cooked couscous for an amazing meal that is ready in just 35 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 medium onions, cut into wedges
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1 15-ounce can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
- 1-1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/3 cup small pitted ripe olives
- 3 cups hot cooked couscous

Directions

I adapted the recipe for my slow-cooker, adding about 1/3 cup water (cook the couscous separately). I also added celery, carrots and mushrooms. Another time I included a few small potato wedges instead of couscous and that was good too.

An awesome recipe!!! I used bone-in thighs ('cause I had'em) and pulled meat at the end! No problems! Chicken thighs are an ultra tasty and tender cut any way, so the recipe is muy flavorful!
Try it you will not be disappointed!-
delicious! i could not find boneless thighs, so i used the whole thing, rubbed in the spice mix and let rest for 30 minutes before proceeding. i also added the same spice mix (minus the flour) into the sauce, just wonderful and cooked for about an hour. If I knew, I would have doubled the recipe.

So I made this tonight (Monday), and it was real good (I know it was listed as the Tuesday Meal this week, but I'm my own man and I do my own thing). I used the skinless boneless thighs, which are a succulent piece of chicken to begin with, and since they're being stewed, it's not a problem at all. Flavorful and tender. I substituted chicken broth for the water to add even more flavor. It only took me about 45 minutes from first chop to first taste.
House still smells great. Different flavors than I usually cook with.
Looking forward to the leftovers.
