Ingredients

Scale

Marinade:

1 cup loosley packed fresh cilantro

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch of fresh ginger

1 tablespoon paprika

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon tumeric

1 teaspoon corriander (or cumin)

1 teaspoon ground cardamom

For the chicken:

2 large sweet onions, cut in eighths

3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 pounds sweet potatoes, peepled and cut into thick slices

7 chopped dates, chopped

24 ounces cauliflower rice, toasted in clarified butter

Top with:

fresh cilantro

slivered almonds, roasted or toasted

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in the marinade and process until a smooth paste.  If it is having trouble combining, add 1/4 cup water.

Place your onions in the bottom of your slow cooker.  Poke the chicken a few times with a fork.

Pour 3/4 of the marinade into a medium bowl with the chicken thighs and coat the thighs with the marinade.

Move the chicken to the slow-cooker.  Place the rest of the marinade over the sweet potatoes and coat them then scatter them with the dates over the chicken.

Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours.

Remove the chicken and shred it and put it back into the slow-cooker.  Stir gently and serve over cauliflower rice.

Garnish with cilantro and almonds and serve.
