Crock Pot Chicken Casablanca

(Ww Flex and Almost Core) Recipe #220089

I found this recipe on a Weight Watchers related website and knew I had to try it. The only non Core ingredient are 4 tablespoons of currants which spread over the entire dish are just 2 points or 1/2 point per serving. For Flex this is 7 points per serving.

I'll let you all know how this turns out, I'm going to make it this week. I've been watching too much No Reservations on the travel channel and am in the mood for some exotic cuisine :)
