Ingredients

1-1/2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 2-inch cubes
1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup raisins
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
8 bone-in chicken thighs (about 3 pounds), skin removed
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup pitted green olives
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water
Hot cooked couscous

Directions

In a 6-qt. slow cooker, place the squash, beans, onion, broth, raisins and garlic. Combine the coriander, cumin, cinnamon, salt and pepper; rub over chicken. Place in slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until chicken is tender, adding tomatoes and olives during the last 20 minutes of cooking.
Remove chicken and vegetables to a serving platter; keep warm. Skim fat from cooking juices; transfer to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; gradually stir into cooking juices. Return to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with chicken, vegetables and couscous. Yield: 8 servings.

I like all of the ingredients in this recipe, so I tried it. I was very disappointed. The flavors were very unusual, and neither my husband nor I liked it at all.
