Shopping List:
1) 4-6 Chicken Tenderloins
2) 1-2 Packages Cous Cous (it depends on what ratio of cous cous to mixture you want), I also got the whole grain kind this time, it was very good!
3) Golden Raisins
4) Apricots
5) 1 Can Olive Oil Tomatoes or Fresh Cherry Tomatoes (just slice them up)
6) 1 Small Can Chickpeas
7) Fresh Cilantro
8) 1 Small White Onion
7) 1 Medium Sized Zucchini
9) Chicken Broth
10) Seasoning: Salt, Pepper, Minced Garlic, Cumin, Paprika and Cinnamon
***********************************************************************************
To Begin:
Start by cutting the chicken into bite sized pieces, season with salt and pepper. Then in a pan that is warm with a little bit of olive oil brown the chicken.
While the chicken is browning dice your onion. And place in with the chicken along with a tablespoon of minced garlic. Let onion become tender.
Around this time you will want to start your cous cous. Use chicken broth in place of water and to the chicken broth add a handful of golden raisins and a handful of chopped up apricots. Then follow the directions on the box.
Once onions are tender to the pan add your tomatoes(drained), chickpeas(drained), chopped zucchini, about 1/2 a cup of chicken broth and about 2 teaspoons Cumin and Paprika and about 1 teaspoon Cinnamon. Add salt and pepper as needed. Let come to a simmer. Let simmer for about 10 minutes, so the juices will reduce.
When the cous cous is done fluff it with a fork and then add to it a large handful of chopped cilantro. Then once the chicken has simmered for its ten minutes, in a bowl mix together the cous cous and the chicken mixture (do not just dump the mixture in with the cous cous, because it may still have more juice than needed, instead spoon the mixture in with the cous cous and add juice as needed).
Enjoy!
