Steps:
- Combine turmeric, ginger, coriander, salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper in a small cup. Rub mixture over chicken and let sit at least 30 minutes.
- Combine chickpeas, diced tomatoes, artichoke hearts, carrots, garlic, and cinnamon stick in the bottom of a 6- to 7-quart slow cooker.
- Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to the slow cooker, bone-side-up. Add onion to the same skillet. Saute over medium-high heat until onions have taken on a yellow color from turmeric and are starting to brown on the edges, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for approximately 2 hours.
- Place green beans and bell pepper over chicken. Cover and cook approximately 3 hours more.
- Meanwhile, boil 3 cups of water in a saucepan. Add couscous and stir. Cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let sit until water is absorbed and couscous is tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Place hot couscous on each plate and top with chicken and vegetables. Spoon juices from the slow cooker over each serving.

MEDITERRANEAN SLOW COOKER CHICKEN
This recipe came from the Hamilton Slow Cooker website and is a family favorite. It takes me 30 mins. to put it together in the slow cooker, either the night before or early in the morning. I serve it with a crusty bread to soak up the flavorful juice and a simple green salad. It's perfect to come home to after a work day &/or for a busy day. It not only tastes good but makes the whole house smell so good too.

SLOW COOKER MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN
I found this recipe on the Betty Crocker site and decided to give it a whirl. I changed things around just a tad, but nothing monumental. The original recipe called for salsa, but all I had was picante sauce, which turned out to be terrific! The squash, while perfect for my taste, turns out very soft. My son said, "Mommy, can eat just the squash?" High marks for the kid who complained as I was cutting it for the dish.
