This slow cooker Moroccan chicken is to die for.   A typical tagine is a rich stew of meat, poultry or fish, and most often includes vegetables or fruit.  Although this one is not cooked in the traditional Tagine cookware, it is the same delicious slow-cooked, succulent, stew-like dish.  Here, we have moist spiced chicken with prunes, apricots, carrots, chickpeas and almonds.  Serve it along with some couscous or white rice.  Enjoy!
