Directions
Cinnamon Chicken With Couscous and Dried Fruit, I recently discovered this on Epicurious and I’m in love! I think I could have this every night for a week It’s easy and fast enough to do when you get home from work too I have been having it with some peas to add some green to the plate and iced mint tea I am posting the original recipe but here are the comments of another user I have been useing these recomendations: Natalie from San Francisco, CA on 05/23/06 I love this recipe One change I make is to use chicken thighs only, cook (boil in stock or saute) until they are about 95% done and then shred them when cool I add the chicken at the last minute with the other ingredients so it finishes cooking in a couple of minutes I find the dish is quicker, uses less oil and the spices get more evenly distributed I usually use a sweeter dried fruit, like prunes or raisins, and a tart fruit, like apricots or cranberries I’ve also made this dish with the larger size couscous (could be harder to find) as well as the traditional couscous and I find that the texture of the larger couscous is a nice addition , I placed all the ingredients except the couscous into my tagine & cooked for 2 hours I then remove the chicken & shredded it I added the couscous to the seasoned broth until absorbed Very tasty!
