Steps:
- So that everything is ready at the same time, start the couscous while the chicken is simmering; then keep the couscous covered until ready to serve.
- In a large (10-inch) skillet, heat oil over medium-low heat. Add garlic; cook until starting to soften, about 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, ginger, teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, half the cilantro, and 2 tablespoons water.
- Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated but is still somewhat saucy, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Stir in honey; add chicken and zucchini. Return to a simmer; cover. Cook, turning once, until chicken is cooked through and zucchini is tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in remaining cilantro. Serve over couscous.
MOROCCAN CHICKEN WINGS
From Southern Living's Ultimate Book of Appetizers, these sound tasty. NOTE #1: Based on the 4 previous reviews, I've changed the recipe to decrease the amount of cinnamon, since the reviews indicate that the recipe seems heavy on the cinnamon. Original recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of cinnamon -- you make the call! NOTE #2: The directions for this recipe seemed somewhat lacking in the book, so I embellished a little. I would recommend for step #7, to either spray or spritz the oil on the chicken rather than brushing it on.
