Chicken Couscous
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion for 1-2 mins just until softened. Add the chicken and fry for 7-10 mins until cooked through and the onions have turned golden. Grate over the ginger, stir through the harissa to coat everything and cook for 1 min more.

Tip in the apricots, chickpeas and couscous, then pour over the stock and stir once. Cover with a lid or tightly cover the pan with foil and leave for about 5 mins until the couscous has soaked up all the stock and is soft. Fluff up the couscous with a fork and scatter over the coriander to serve. Serve with extra harissa, if you like.
For Moroccan Chicken Couscous, try a **Viognier** from the Rhône Valley or California. Its floral aromatics and stone fruit notes complement the warm spices like cumin, cinnamon, and coriander beautifully. If you prefer a non-alcoholic option, a chilled **mint lemonade with a pinch of cinnamon** echoes the dish's North African flavors perfectly.
