Moroccan Chicken Couscous

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion
• 0.9 lb chicken breast
• ½ tsp ginger
• 2 tbsp harissa spice
• 10 dried apricots
• 15 oz chickpeas
• 1½ cup couscous
• 1½ cup chicken broth
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro (optional)
• 1 tbsp harissa (optional)

Steps

1. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
2. Add chicken breast to the pan and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and onions are golden.
3. Grate ginger into the pan, stir in harissa spice, and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
4. Stir in dried apricots, chickpeas, and couscous. Pour chicken broth over the mixture and stir once.
5. Cover the pan with a lid or foil and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until the couscous has absorbed all the stock and is soft.
6. Fluff the couscous with a fork. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately, with extra harissa if desired.
