Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, add diced onions and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent.
Stir in diced tomatoes, apricots, and chickpeas, allowing the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to the crock pot and pour the tomato mixture over the top.
Add vegetable broth and a handful of fresh cilantro. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours.
Once cooked, serve the chicken over a bed of fluffy couscous or quinoa, garnished with additional cilantro and a sprinkle of toasted almonds for crunch.
