I’ve said it before, I love Moroccan food. The flavors used are some of my favorites. This stew might be one of my most flavorful recipes you’ll find on this blog. It uses a homemade ras el hanout which is really the star of the dish. Ras el hanout is a common spice blend in North Africa that’s used on anything from meat to seafood to vegetables. You can find it online or at your local specialty store but it’s also fairly easy to make. I keep a batch in my pantry so I have it readily available.

Paleo and whole30 compliant! I used white sweet potatoes but you can use whatever potato fits your dietary needs. You can even omit them all together for a low-carb stew.

I like to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs but you can seriously use your preferred cut of ‘stew meat’. If you use chicken breast, lower the cook time by at least an hour since white meat doesn’t take as long to cook and is likely to dry out. This is a stew, not a soup. It’s come to my attention that a lot of people don’t know the difference. Stews do not have a lot of liquid. You can easily turn this into a soup by adding an additional 4-5 cups of low-sodium chicken broth. If you do this, you’ll need a large 5 to 6-quart slow cooker.

I serve this over cauliflower rice but my husband prefers this over couscous. You don’t have to serve this over anything, you can eat it as-is if needed.

    […] You know the recipes that have your entire kitchen smelling amazing? This is one of them. I make this when I want to impress guests because as soon as they walk in my house the smell hits them like a ton of bricks. This is all because of the homemade seasoning blend. I created this Moroccan rub a couple of years ago for roast I entered in a cooking contest. I didn’t win the contest…I was robbed:-) Anyway it’s been my go-to rub ever since. As with many of my homemade rubs, I keep a jar of this rub in my pantry pretty much at all times. It’s the same seasoning used in my Moroccan Chicken Stew Recipe. […]
