I haven't made this yet, but it sounds so yummy.
Ingredients

* 2 lb. skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
* 1 medium onion, chopped
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 5 tsp. curry powder
* 2 tsp. ground ginger
* 1/2 tsp. salt
* 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper and/or cayenne pepper
* 2 15-oz. cans garbanzo beans (chickpeas), rinsed and drained
* 2 14.5-oz. cans diced tomatoes, undrained
* 1 cup chicken broth
* 1 bay leaf
* 2 Tbsp. lime juice
* 1 9-oz. pkg. fresh spinach (optional)
* Hot cooked rice (optional)

Directions

1. Lightly coat a 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray or oil. Add chicken, onion, and garlic to the slow cooker. Add curry powder, ginger, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker. Toss to coat. Stir in drained beans, undrained tomatoes, broth, and bay leaf. Cover and cook on high-heat setting 4 to 5 hours or low-heat setting 8 to 10 hours.
