Ingredients

1 cup Israeli couscous (sometimes called pearl couscous)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch coins
1/2 cup dried apricots, diced
2 cups low sodium chicken stock
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

In a 2-inch deep sauté pan over medium heat, dry toast the couscous for 3 minutes, until golden brown. Remove to a plate.
Heat the oil in the pan. Add the onions and garlic, and sauté for 5 minutes, until soft.
Add the couscous back to the pan, along with all the remaining ingredients and stir to combine well.
Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 22-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

Notes

Substitution Tip: Substitute chicken breasts for thighs if you prefer white meat. Cut into 1-inch cubes if you use chicken breasts and only cook 10-12 minutes.
