Note: if you don’t want to make a homemade seasoning blend, I found this option and this option on Amazon. I haven’t tried them but they get good reviews!
Can this moroccan chicken be a freezer meal?
Yes! Simply add ingredients to a zipper bag instead of the slow cooker. Remove air and seal up tight. Don’t forget to label!
You can store this in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to cook, please thaw overnight in the fridge first.

Do you drain the tomatoes?
Nope!
Hi. Dying to make this. Can’t get those type of canned tomatoes. What could I use instead?
Also, what is the ‘cream’ you used on top when serving?
Thank you
Hi Aileen! You could try regular canned diced tomatoes instead of fire-roasted and maybe add a little cumin for smoky flavor.
What would make a good side dish with this Morrocan Chicken? Are those torn mint leaves on top?
Thank you.

Hi Robin! I’d go for a simple sautéed zucchini or spinach on the side with a little olive oil and garlic. I garnished with some chopped cilantro, but mint would be good too!
