Chicken Stew With Couscous Food

ONE POT MOROCCAN CHICKEN STEW WITH SWEET POTATO & COUSCOUS

Steps:

• Add coconut oil to a large dutch oven or pot over medium high heat. Once coconut oil is melted, add in chicken thighs and generously season with salt and pepper. Brown chicken thighs for about 3-4 minutes per side. You do not need to cook completely. Remove chicken and transfer to a plate.
• Add in garlic, onion, carrot, cauliflower florets and diced sweet potato. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion begins to soften.
• Next stir in spices: ground turmeric, cumin, cinnamon. Let spices cook for 30 more seconds to enhance flavors, then add the chicken thighs back into the pot. Slowly add in chicken broth, then couscous and salt and pepper. Stir to combine and make sure the chicken is well coated with the broth. Bring to to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes remove the lid, stir and allow to simmer uncovered for 10-15 more minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. At this point, you can remove the chicken and shred then add back to the pot, or you can leave as is and serve with larger chicken pieces (and eat with a fork and knife). I like to shred the chicken but either way this recipe is simply fabulous.
• Next, gently stir in the chopped pistachios, parsley and dried cherries. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary, adding more salt and pepper if desired. Serve with extra parsley + a few crushed pistachios on top. Serves 6. Enjoy!
