Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound skinless boneless chicken thighs or chicken breast, cubed
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • ½ cup diced carrots
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ cup chopped dates
  • ¼ cup currants or raisins
  • 2 cups PERDUE® Signature Chicken Stock
  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, a pinch of kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until the meat is no longer pink. Add carrots and onions and cook until the onions are softened and translucent.
  • Add the cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, and cumin. Stir until chicken is coated. Add the dates, currants, and the PERDUE® Signature Chicken Stock. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil and let boil for about 1 minute. Take the saucepan off the heat and immediately add the couscous and stir. Cover, and let stand for about 20 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Add lemon juice and fluff the couscous with a fork.
