Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Moroccan
Ingredients: 1 tbsp Olive Oil; 1 chopped Onion; 200g Chicken Breast; pinch Ginger; 2 tblsp Harissa Spice; 10 Dried Apricots; 220g Chickpeas; 200g Couscous; 200ml Chicken Stock; Handful Coriander

Chicken Couscous is a vibrant, fragrant dish where tender chicken meets fluffy couscous, infused with the warmth of ginger and the bold kick of harissa. The texture is a delightful contrast—silky chicken, slightly chewy couscous, and the crunch of toasted almonds—while fresh coriander adds a bright, herbal finish. Toasting the couscous before simmering it in stock deepens its nutty flavor, making each bite rich and satisfying. Worth the effort for its layers of spice, smokiness, and freshness, this dish delivers the essence of Moroccan cuisine in every spoonful.

Directions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion for 1-2 mins just until softened. Add the chicken and fry for 7-10 mins until cooked through and the onions have turned golden. Grate over the ginger, stir through the harissa to coat everything and cook for 1 min more.
2
Tip in the apricots, chickpeas and couscous, then pour over the stock and stir once. Cover with a lid or tightly cover the pan with foil and leave for about 5 mins until the couscous has soaked up all the stock and is soft. Fluff up the couscous with a fork and scatter over the coriander to serve. Serve with extra harissa, if you like.
