Original Recipe Yield 6 servings

Ingredients

1 3/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch pieces
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup coarsely chopped dried apricots
1/3 cup raisins
1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon curry powder (optional)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 cup couscous
1 cup boiling water

Directions

Place the chicken, onions, apricots, and raisins into a slow cooker. In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, tomato paste, lemon juice, flour, ginger, cumin, cinnamon, black pepper, curry powder, and cayenne. Pour the mixture over the chicken in the cooker. Cover, set the cooker to High, and cook 2 1/2 hours; or set the cooker to Low and cook for 5 hours.
Place the couscous into a saucepan, stir in the boiling water, cover, and let stand until the water is absorbed and the couscous is tender, about 5 minutes. Fluff the pasta with a fork. Scoop onto plates, and serve with chicken tagine.
