Moroccan Chicken

Chicken thighs give a deep rich flavor to this Moroccan Chicken recipe and cinnamon, cumin and garlic give a layer of seasoning that combine sweet and savory notes typical of Moroccan cuisine.

Add in bursts of sweet golden raisins with the brininess of olives topped off with the occasional crunch of sliced almonds and every forkful of Moroccan chicken will transport you to this far away land.

With chilly nights and breezy days definitely upon us, it's the time of year that I begin dreaming about hearty comforting dinners. And so it was perfect timing when I received a shiny new Hamilton Beach Set 'n Forget 6 Qt. Programmable Slow Cooker with Spoon/Lid to review!

Moroccan spices are among my favorite flavor combinations and I blended cinnamon and cumin together for a fabulous Moroccan Chicken recipe that cooks itself in the slow cooker. Just assemble in the morning, set the timer, and dinner is ready when you get home from a busy day!

There's no need to worry about rushing home to turn off the slow cooker because it works on a timer and automatically changes it's setting to WARM when the timer goes off! Dinner will be cooked, kept warm and ready for your family whenever you get home! Best of all, Hamilton Beach has offered to do a giveaway for my readers!
