This is so stunning! I fell in love with Moroccan food when I was there a few years ago but I haven’t tried making it home. I must try this recipe though, it looks amazing and love that it’s made in the slow cooker.
Hi Erin
Great slow cooker recipe. I did not have raisins on hand so used some dry cranberries toward the end of cooking time turned out ok not too spicy but a nice blend, thank you. Louise
I love this!! Looks delicious. How would you be able to add in lentils and omit chicken? I imagine just increase the amount of liquid in the slow cooker??
Hi Jennifer! Since I have never tested this recipe with lentils, I honestly can’t tell you how it would turn out. I would suggest simply omitting the chicken, and you can add more chickpeas as you like.

Alla, I have never tried this recipe with fresh tomatoes, so I can’t say for certain. I do know that the liquid in the canned diced tomatoes is very important to making sure the recipe does not dry out. If you use a lot of fresh tomatoes and they are very juicy, it may work, but it would be an experiment. If you decide to try the recipe, I would love to hear how it turns out!
I would love to try this recipe, but any recipe that calls for canned tomatoes does not work for me. So I will get my fresh tomatoes and cook them down enough so I will not need the tomato paste either. This sounds so yummy especially with peanut butter at the end. Will be making this tomorrow. Thanks
Did not have any golden raisins on hand so omitted. Thought it was a little bland so added cayenne pepper to spice it up a little. Thanks for the recipe:)
Hi Eliana, you can definitely cut the chicken off the bone and into pieces. If you are thinking you want to use whole chicken pieces, that will probably work too, but the cooking time may be a little longer to make sure they are cooked through. I’d recommend using a meat thermometer to check.
Amazing recipe! Made it tonight for the first time and my younger kids loved it! Definitely a keeper!!! Only change we did was we had to mix the chicken in to finish cooking it completely. Otherwise it turned out great!
made this today, the whole family loved it! followed the recipe almost to the T (used white onion because we didn’t have red, and did not add the 2 tablespoons water because our crock pot tends to make already-watery dishes). we cut raw chicken thighs off the bone before putting the pieces in the crockpot, and we threw in the bone and skin to infuse flavor. definitely will make again!
Thank you so much for your excellent Moroccan Chicken recipe. It was so rich and delicious and unusual. Your recipes always turn out, and I always turn to you for guaranteed delicious food. Thank you Erin!
Hi Aliza! I’ve only tested this recipe in a 6-quart slow cooker, so I can’t say for certain. You could try halving the recipe. If you decide to play around with it, I’d love to hear how it goes!
The beans were flavorless and kind of mushy tasting. Needed whole, unsalted peanuts, some herbs such as cilantro, some heat, like jalapenos. This recipe made a ton, but I threw most of it away. All the ingredients are good and the picture is good, but the taste is just not there.
I’m sorry that this recipe wasn’t to your tastes, Diane. I (and many other readers) have truly enjoyed it, so I wish it would’ve been a hit for you too!
Hi Susan! I stopped including sodium info because it can vary so much depending upon what products you used, and I found a lot of conflicting info online, so ultimately I didn’t feel comfortable publishing it because sometimes it wasn’t even in the ballpark. If you’d like to calculate it yourself, there are lots of free tools online (myfitnesspal.com is popular). I hope that helps!
This was delicious! I was running low on time, so I cooked it on high about 3 hours and it was perfect. I don’t normally keep red onions on hand, so next time I would probably use a sweet yellow one.

hey girl this looks so good!
This meal is gorgeous! Love the nut butter and chickpeas :)
This looks so delicious… I don’t own a slow cooker but I do have a very pretty tajine (which is Moroccan!) so I’ll be sure to remember this recipe! :)

I don’t have any canned tomatoes now. Can I use a few fresh ones? Thank you.

Honestly, the only mistake I made with this recipe was not doubling it! So easy to make and yet nutritious. My family and friends thank you!
Debra, this makes my day! Thank you so much for trying it and leaving this wonderful review.

I’m glad you enjoyed it Barb!
Can you make this with chicken on the bone instead of boneless?

Hi there
This recipe looks awesome! How would you adjust the amounts for a 3 quart slow cooker?
Hi Aliza! I’ve only tested this recipe in a 6-quart slow cooker, so I can’t say for certain. You could try halving the recipe. If you decide to play around with it, I’d love to hear how it goes!

Would you be willing to post the sodium for those of us who watch it for health reasons?

Why don’t you include the amount of sodium in your recipes? It would be helpful for a health conscious person.
