Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 onion, chopped
1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 4)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes (about 1/2 pound)
1 zucchini, quartered lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
3/4 cup tomato puree
1 quart water
2 cups canned low sodium chicken broth or 2 cups homemade stock
1/2 cup couscous

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Increase the heat to moderately high. Add the chicken, cayenne, cumin, salt, and pepper to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the sweet potato, zucchini, tomato puree, water, and broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
