Directions
Spiced Chicken & Couscous, Another addition inspired by one of my favorite cookbooks The couscous in this is so fragant and flavorful, it is well worth making it alone Together, they make a wonderful midweek meal in just 30 minutes (Consider it a very quick trip to Morocco ) Not quite a one dish meal, it is just as simple given the couscous requires no actual cooking , I made this tonight, only thing changed was no raisins and used full fat chicken broth I also thickened the sauce with cornstarch and drizzled over everything We thought it was very good and I will be making this again Thanks!

(i Like My Squash Fairly Crisp, If You Prefer It More Tender Then Add It a Bit Earlier. Just Make Sure the Total Cooking Time Is the Same.) Add the Currants or Raisins and Cook For a Final Minute. |
