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)

Directions

Step 1

Spray the inside of a 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Arrange the chicken thighs in an even layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, zucchini rounds, cubed sweet potato, and drained chickpeas on top of the chicken.

Step 4

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and chicken broth, ensuring everything is well distributed.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Once cooked, gently stir the contents to combine the flavors, being careful not to break the chicken apart too much.

Step 8

Serve hot with chopped fresh cilantro as a garnish and a lemon wedge on the side for extra brightness, if desired.
