Preparation

Step 1

Mix the cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a 4-to 6-quart slow cooker. Add the chicken and toss to coat in the spice mixture. Add the tomatoes, carrots, and olives.

Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender. Shred the meat and return it to the liquid with the vegetables.

Ten minutes before serving, prepare the couscous according to 
the package directions.

Serve the chicken and vegetables over the couscous, topped with the cilantro.
