Moroccan Style Chicken Stew combines the flavours of Morocco in a single dish. This simple recipe combines chicken with both vegetables and fruit to create an amazingly tasty main dish. The aromas from this recipe will having your family queuing waiting for it to come out of the slow cooker. This is a dish that is ideal for busy families and those on the go. I normally serve this one of two ways. One, with a plate of fresh warm bread for dunking and mopping. Two, on a bed of fluffy rice to absorb the flavours. This is best if there are more people than planned as the recipe goes further.
