This chicken-and-couscous dish makes an easy one-skillet meal. We love the tangy-sweet flavor of California apricots, but Turkish apricots are delicious, too.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
Coarse salt and pepper
3 bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves, cut in half (3 pounds)
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups Israeli couscous
1/2 cup sliced dried apricots
1/4 cup capers
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
Fresh cilantro, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large straight-sided, oven-safe skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add onion and saute until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in couscous, apricots, and capers and cook until couscous is lightly toasted, 3 minutes. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Add chicken, skin side up, and transfer to oven. Bake until couscous is tender and chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with cilantro.

I tried this recipe with chicken thighs instead of breasts and it turned out great! The thighs were more flavorful and juicy. I also added a bit of red pepper flakes for a little spice.

This recipe has potential, but it needs some tweaking. The chicken was a little bland and the sauce was too thin. I think adding some more spices and herbs would help.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken turned out dry and the sauce was too sweet. I think I may have overcooked the chicken.
