Method
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, Ras el Hanout, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- While the chicken is cooking, bring the chicken broth to a boil in a small saucepan. Place the dry couscous in a heatproof bowl. Pour the boiling broth over the couscous, stir once, cover tightly, and let it stand for 5-7 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed.
- Fluff the cooked couscous with a fork. Add the rinsed chickpeas, chopped dried apricots, fresh parsley, toasted slivered almonds, and fresh lemon juice. Gently toss to combine.
- Divide the couscous mixture among four bowls. Slice the cooked chicken and arrange it on top of the couscous. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For a spicy kick, serve with a side of harissa paste.
