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.
