Crockpot Moroccan Chicken
- 4 -5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 12 lb carrot (peeled & chopped or use baby carrots or frozen)
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 14 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 18 teaspoon saffron thread
- 1 12 cups chicken stock
- salt and pepper
- 14 cup honey
- 4 12 ounces pitted prunes or 4 12 ounces dates, chopped
- 4 12 ounces dried apricots, chopped
- 4 12 ounces raisins (optional)
- Place onion slices and carrots (only if raw) in crockpot.
- Put chicken breasts on top.
- Add spices.
- Cover with chopped prunes and apricots.
- Pour over broth.
- Cook on low for 4-6 hrs, but as crockpots can vary, check for doneness and cook until chicken is cooked to your satisfaction.
- At this point, the dried fruit should be very soft, chicken should be done, and broth will not be thick.
- If using frozen carrots, add during last 30-45 minutes of cook time.
- DON'T SKIP THIS STEP (it doesn't take that long, and really makes the sauce)!
- Pour off the broth into a pan, add honey, and reduce over med or med-high heat so the sauce thickens slightly, like the consistency of warm maple syrup (or to your liking, really).
- Add some of this reduced sauce back into crock pot to coat chicken and serve the rest (like gravy!)
- for any sauce-fiends you may have.
