Recipe – Slow Cooker Mediterranean Chicken

This, my friends, is literally Fall in a crock pot.

Granted, it’s not the most kid-appealing dish (we had to bribe the Happy Buddy with M&M’s to finish his plate :-)), but the Happy Hubby and I were practically swimming in our plates with joy.

It makes your Happy Home smell sooooooooooo amazing.

I’d love to know what you think if you make it!

Mediterranean Chicken

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lb peeled butternut squash, cut into 1″ chunks (about 4 cups)
• 1 lb chicken breasts, cut into 1″ chunks
• 1 large red pepper, cut into 1″ pieces
• 1/2 cup tomato salsa
• 1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1/2 tsp each cumin, minced garlic, and salt
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, rinsed
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions:

Mix all ingredients except chickpeas and parsley in a 3 quart or larger slow cooker.  Cover and cook on HIGH for 4-5 hours or on LOW for 7-9 hours.  Stir in chickpeas and parsley (I have to be honest – I always forget to add those last two ingredients and it’s still just as yummy!).  Serve over rice or couscous.Happy Mediterranean Chicken-ing! 🙂
