Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1 medium-sized zucchini, shredded
1/3 cup drained and chopped sun-dried tomatoes
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 can (15 1/2 ounces) garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
3 tablespoons golden raisins
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon crumbled saffron threads
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 cup uncooked couscous
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Sprinkle the chicken with salt. Place the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chicken, onion, zucchini and tomatoes. Cook, stirring, until the chicken is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender, about 4 to 6 minutes.
  • 2. Add all remaining ingredients except the couscous and cilantro. Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from the heat. Let stand for 5 to 7 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff the couscous with a fork. Serve sprinkled with cilantro.
