My husband and I loved this dish! I did microwave the green beans for a few minutes first and that helped. I will try placing them under the chicken next time. We used boneless chicken thighs, worked well. Otherwise there were no changes except we didn't use cilantro. Delicious!
Read MoreI was rather disappointed with this. I thought the use of all those spices would give the dish a mouthful of flavors but it was very bland. I don't plan to make it again. I didn't like the use of chickpeas. They were like little pebbles even after being in the crockpot for 6 hours. Plus, the recipe never tells you where to use the cilantro. I just added it when I served it.

My husband and I loved this! We followed the recipe exactly except for when we added the green beans and red pepper; we stirred that in to get in and under the chicken and other ingredients. We served it over brown ride. Delicious!
I would add an extra can of chickpeas next time. I increased the amount of spices as someone suggested. I cut the carrots and peppers chunkier than suggested. It presented on the plate better. I added pepper.
AMAZING!! I did make a few changes. My son does not like tomatoes so I used 8 oz of chicken broth and 4 oz of the artichoke juice. I didn’t cook the chicken before hand and kept the skin on the chicken. This was a delicious dish!! Thank you!!
This is a really good recipe. I made it pretty much as written except I used boneless skinless thighs. It was quite a bit of work to make. My husband started talking about how good it smelled hours before it was done.
So easy AND delicious. This just became a family favorite! However... I am going to double the spices in the future. The flavor is a little weak as written in the recipe.
Loved this recipe. Did not add artichokes. I used barley instead of couscous. Everything else I did the same. It's a keeper.
Delicious. Followed the recipe and was so very impressed. NOTE - first time using tumeric...did not realize that everything that it touched would turn yellow...including the cupboards. Small price to pay for such an awesome meal.

Definitely easy and pretty good... but bland. I served it over basmati rice made with cumin seeds, cardamom pods and ghee. The rice made all the difference and it was delicious. But on its own, not so much. Great if you need a quick & healthy meal though. If there’s time, I would recommend taking the time to cook the everything but the chicken in butter until soft before adding to the slow cooker. I think that would help give it more flavor.
I made this and used asparagus instead of the artichoke. It turned out decent and edible, but I wouldn't eat it again. HOWEVER, I would cook the chicken with the seasoning again and just eat it over some faro. My autistic 9yo ate the chicken, which SHOCKED me.
This is more Moroccan than Mediterranean, but very very tasty! I didn't pre-cook the chicken and onion, and had to turn it up to high the last 1.5 to 2 hours for it to be fully cooked in the amount of time. Nice blend of spices! I used a little extra cayenne, but I like things extra spicy. I also substituted sweet potatoes for the chickpeas.
I always substitute half broth for the water in the couscous to give it more flavor. Next time I will use half or less of the cinnamon stick, it is a bit overpowering.
My husband and Ii loved it! I did use a bit more of each seasoning all in equal parts. I also added some chicken bouillon to give it just a bit more flavor, but the only reason that might have been needed is because i only had BLSL thighs on hand. Bone-in might have been fine. Thank you for a great recipe!
I had to leave out garlic & red pepper(allergies) but it was still tasty without being hot.I will definitely make again.
We loved this. We used boneless chicken breast and did not use chickpeas. We used rice instead of couscous due to a wheat allergy. The flavor was wonderful. We will definitely make this again.
I scaled this down to 4 servings, and used BLSL thighs and parsley in place of the cilantro. Those were the only changes that I made. One thing I'd recommend is stirring the green beans in, rather than just laying them on top of the chicken. Ours were not cooked enough, even after having been in the slow cooker for 3 hours, because they were sitting on top of the chicken, rather than in the juices below. My family did not care for this, sorry.
Great recipe! I used 4 thick/big chicken breasts instead of dark meat. I will definitely make again, however green beans were still a little under cooked so next time I will mix with the other ingredients instead of putting on top of the chicken.
I made it as printed except to use breasts and to implement the recommendation of more spice. I practically doubled the spices. There was some heat but not a satisfactory flavor. I won't be making it again.
