CHICKEN WITH PINE NUT COUSCOUS image

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 1/2 pounds boneless chicken, cut into bite-size pieces
1 rounded tablespoon grill seasoning
2 teaspoons turmeric
2 teaspoons cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons coriander
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
20-24 pitted dates (about one cup), halved
1 quart chicken stock
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons pine nuts
2 cups couscous
4 scallions, chopped

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a sealable plastic bag. Combine the seven spices in a small bowl. Sprinkle into the bag and seal bag. Shake and evenly coat the chicken pieces in the spices. Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high to high heat. Add three tablespoons olive oil, followed by the chicken. Sear the chicken and caramelize the meat all over, about 5-7 minutes. Add the onions and garlic and cook five minutes more. Add the dates and two cups of chicken stock to the pan and cover. Cook 7-8 minutes more to plump the dates and soften the onions. Remove cover and adjust seasonings. During the last five minutes the chicken has to cook, melt butter and toast pine nuts. Add two cups stock and bring to a boil. Remove pan from heat, add couscous and cover pan. Let stand five minutes. Remove lid and fluff with fork. Serve chicken over couscous in shallow dishes and garnish with chopped scallions.

This recipe was a waste of time and ingredients. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the couscous was mushy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the dish didn't turn out well. The chicken was tough and the couscous was bland.
