MOROCCAN Chicken and Lentils

1 8 oz package baby carrots
1 1/2 cups lentils, uncooked
1 1/2 pounds FROZEN chicken breast tenders
2 tablespoons minced garlic
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons salt-free Moroccan rub (or 3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric, l/2 teaspoon ground red pepper, and l/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon)
2 (14 l/4 ounce) cans fat-free, reduced-sodium chicken broth

Place all ingredients, in order listed, in a 4 or 5 quart electric slow cooker. Cover and cook on high setting 5 hours. Or, cover and cook on high setting 1 hour; reduce to low setting, and cook 7 hours. Yield: 6 (1 cup) servings.

Note: I followed the 1 hour on high and then found it was done after 3 hours on low. I have a new crockpot so maybe it heats hotter. I hope you like it! :)


So trying this
used five chicken legs instead
4 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp sugar
2Tlbsp paparika
1 Tbsp Cinnamin
1tsp ginger and nutmeg
Set to 4hrs. in crock pot
Smells good, but uncertain any useful advise?
Just could not find a premade rub so I bought curry powder because could not remember individual spices suggested

    Made something similar last week. only I added onions , cabbage and green peppers. Wonderful! Seasonings were the same. Chicken thighs gives it so much more flavor!

    Its really good and so simple, I read a spic rub at Fine cooking.com and improvised can be any easier unless its take out and I left it for five hours on high
