Years ago I came up with this recipe which my clever son named “Croc Moroc”. I made it in my Crockpot, hence the name. These days I use the slow cook setting on my Instant Pot. But any way you cook it, Moroccan Chicken is a winner.

I serve this over steamed rice with a dollop of plain yogurt on top. You could also serve it “as is” or over potatoes or other grains.
