CHICKEN CHERMOULA

Steps:

• Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and the butter in a large skillet (I use a cast iron skillet) over high heat.
• Add chicken and cook for about 5 minutes each side or until nicely golden browned on each side.
• Remove chicken from skillet. Pour off excess fat.
• Add 3 tablespoons olive oil to skillet. Sauté the garlic in the oil for just a minute or two. Add the cumin and sauté another few seconds until it becomes aromatic. Add the sweet and smoked paprika, sea salt and saffron threads.
• Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, parsley and cilantro and bring to a boil then reduce heat to low.
• Add the chicken and carrots. Cook for 10 - 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the carrots are fork tender.
• Add the spinach and kalamata olives to the skillet then turn off the heat and place lid on skillet to allow the spinach to wilt.
• Place stew like mixture and chicken on plates. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

WINE-POACHED CHICKEN WITH CHARMOULA

Steps:

• In a high-sided frying pan or braiser, combine the wine, cilantro, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer. Add the chicken and poach, turning once, about 12 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove to a cutting board to rest.
• Meanwhile, bring the stock to a boil. Add the couscous, stir, and bring to a second boil. Remove from the heat, cover, and let stand 5 minutes. Stir in the turmeric.
• Combine the charmoula ingredients in a small bowl. Cut the chicken breasts in half. Divide the couscous among 4 dinner plates and arrange chicken breasts on top. Serve each with 1/4 cup of the charmoula.

CHARMOULA

Steps:

• In a small, dry skillet, toast cumin and coriander seeds over medium heat, shaking the pan occasionally, until seeds are slightly toasted and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Immediately pour spices onto a cutting board or mortar to stop the cooking. Once cool, crack spices with the flat side of a knife or with a pestle.
• Place cumin seeds, coriander seeds, garlic and lemon juice in a food processor or blender, and pulse to combine. Add herbs and sweet paprika, and purée until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the container when necessary. Add chile and, with the motor running, gradually drizzle in the olive oil. Stir in salt and preserved lemon, if using. Taste, and add more salt and lemon juice if needed.
• Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Use as a marinade or sauce for fish, chicken, vegetables or meat, or as a dressing for roasted peppers and eggplant salads. Mix into yogurt as a dip for vegetables and meatballs, or spoon over hard-cooked eggs.

WINE-POACHED CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine chicken broth, wine, mushrooms, tarragon, and pepper in a frying pan. Add chicken and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until chicken is no longer pink in the middle and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate and keep warm.
• Add cream to the cooking liquid and mushrooms in the pan. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook until reduced to about 1/2 cup, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt.
• Pour mushroom sauce over chicken. Garnish with parsley.
