Shelly'S Chicken And Zucchini Couscous - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces (raw)
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    1 large yellow onion, chopped
    4 garlic cloves, mined
    1 tablespoon fresh ginger, chopped
    1/2 teaspoon paprika
    3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
    1 1/2 cups canned chicken broth
    1 cup crushed tomatoes, canned
    1 cup canned chick-peas, drained
    1 small zucchini, sliced
    3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    4 cups cooked couscous
Preparation
    In large pot, heat oil, add 1/4 tsp of salt and chopped onion.
    Cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
    Add garlic, ginger, paprika, cumin, oregano, cayenne and turmeric and cook, stirring for 1 minute.
    Add broth, tomatoes and remaining 1 1/4 tsp salt.
    Bring to a simmer and cook, covered for 10 minutes.
    Add chicken, chickpeas, zucchini and bring back to a simmer.
    Cook, covered, until chicken and zucchini are just done, about 12 minutes longer.
    Add parsley and lemon juice and just let it\"hang out\" for several minutes or more-- does it good in my opinion.
    Serve over couscous.
