Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 4 medium carrots, sliced into rounds
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- 1 15-ounce can canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 14.5-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Spray the inside of a 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray for easy cleanup.
Arrange the chicken thighs in an even layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, zucchini rounds, cubed sweet potato, and drained chickpeas on top of the chicken.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and chicken broth, ensuring everything is well distributed.
In a small bowl, mix together the ground cumin, cinnamon, ginger, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this spice mixture evenly over the contents of the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is tender and the vegetables are fully cooked.
Once cooked, gently stir the contents to combine the flavors, being careful not to break the chicken apart too much.
Serve hot with chopped fresh cilantro as a garnish and a lemon wedge on the side for extra brightness, if desired.
