    Main Ingredients Notes

    The recipe card below includes the full list of ingredients, detailed instructions, and recipe notes for Moroccan chicken stew.

    moroccan chicken stew ingredients


    Garam Masala - A mixture of ground spices, usually black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, nutmeg, and turmeric. The spice provides a hint of a curry flavor.  If curry flavor isn't your thing, substitute individual spices of your choice. 
    Great northern beans - Common substitutes are chickpeas or small white beans, if preferred, it's okay to leave the beans out completely. Potatoes can also be used in place of beans.
    Cornstarch - used as a thickener for the sauce.
    Chicken - Boneless and skinless chicken thighs are best, but you can also use a chicken breast. Thighs seem to hold up better in the slow cooker thighs and a very flavorful.
    Dried Apricots - If you don't have dried apricots, you can substitute apricot preserves. My go-to jam is Bonne Maman, St.Dalfour also makes a nice all-fruit apricot jam.
