Steps

  • 1
    In large bowl, mix brown sugar, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic, wine and vinegar. Add chicken; turn to coat well. Add bay leaves. Cover; refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight to marinate.
  • 2
    Spray 3- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In slow cooker, place chicken and marinade mixture.
  • 3
    Cover; cook on Low heat setting 5 to 6 hours.
  • 4
    Stir olives, prunes, roasted peppers and capers into chicken mixture in slow cooker. Cover; cook about 15 minutes longer or until hot. Meanwhile, cook couscous as directed on package.
  • 5
    Transfer chicken with juices to large serving bowl or deep platter; remove bay leaves. Sprinkle parsley over chicken mixture. Serve with couscous.

  • You can skip the marinating step if you’re short on time. Just mix all the ingredients from step 1 right in your slow cooker. The flavor will be a bit milder, but it’s still delicious!
