Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 small red onions, thinly sliced
3 carrots, halved crosswise and quartered lengthwise
2 teaspoons ras el hanout (Moroccan seasoning) or pumpkin pie spice
1 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and finely chopped
Kosher salt
1 cup couscous
2 cups packed fresh cilantro (about 1 large bunch)
3 cups chopped rotisserie chicken breast (skin removed; about 12 ounces)
1/3 cup golden raisins
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add the red onions and carrots; cook until the onions soften slightly, about 4 minutes. Add the ras el hanout, ginger and 1/2 teaspoon salt; stir to coat the vegetables. Add 3 cups water and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until the carrots are tender, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the couscous as the label directs. Puree 1 3/4 cups cilantro, 2 tablespoons water and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a food processor. Fluff the couscous and stir in the cilantro paste. Cover to keep warm.
  • Uncover the vegetables and stir in the chicken and raisins. Continue cooking over medium-high heat until the raisins are plump, about 5 minutes. Stir in the honey and the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro. Serve over the couscous; top with the almonds.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me, but it was worth it in the end. The chicken and couscous were delicious, and the spices were perfect. I will definitely be making this again, but I'll plan ahead so I have enough time to cook it proper

I'm not a fan of couscous, but I loved this recipe. The chicken was so tender and flavorful, and the sauce was amazing. I will definitely be making this again, but I'll use rice instead of couscous.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe without the chicken. It was still delicious! The couscous was fluffy and flavorful, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken in the fridge, and I used it to make this dish. It turned out great, and I'm glad I didn't have to waste any food.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the couscous was perfectly cooked. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.
