Koolaidmom: Moroccan Chicken in the slow cooker

Slow Cooker Moroccan Chicken
• Servings: 6-8
• Time: 5 minutes prep. 6-8 hours on low
• Difficulty: easy

Ingredients:
• 3-4 lbs. split chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon coriander
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
• 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups chicken stock
• 1 cup dried apricots, roughly chopped

Directions:
1. Optional: In a large skillet over medium heat melt butter. Add chicken to pan and brown on both sides. Remove chicken to bowl of slow cooker. Add onions to pan and cook until softened. Add onions to bowl of slow cooker. This will add more flavor to the dish but if you wish you can add chicken and onions to bowl of slow cooker without cooking. (My comment: doing this really makes a difference to the appearance and flavour of this dish)
2. Sprinkle cumin, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, cardamom, Cayenne pepper, powdered ginger, garlic, and salt over the chicken. Pour the chicken stock over the chicken and cook on high 5-6 hours. After 3 hours add the apricots.
3. Once cooked through remove the chicken and shred if desired.
