Moroccan Chicken

I recently made Moroccan Chicken.  I invented the recipe using ideas from several different sources.  It was a winner with everyone in the family, so I thought I would share the recipe with you.



INGREDIENTS (for 4 people):
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into pieces
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic
small amount of olive oil for cooking chicken
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne
1 tsp ground tumeric
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 orange, peeled and segments cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 yellow or red pepper, seeded and chopped
1 can chickpeas

1 1/4 cups couscous
2 cups chicken broth (I used bouillion in boiling water)

METHOD:
1.  cook chicken with onions and garlic in the oil
2.  when the chicken is no longer pink, add all the other ingredients down to the chickpeas.  Add a small amount of water if it gets too dry.
3.  boil the chicken broth and add the couscous, stir and remove from heat.  cover and let sit for 5 minutes.  Then fluff with a fork.
4.  serve the moroccan chicken on the couscous.



Enjoy!
