Chicken With Figs In Ras-El-Hanout And Couscous

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I made this using all broth and no wine or wine vinegar. It came out with very moist and tender chicken and lots of flavor. Recipe #262189 was used here. One serving was all I made and it was generous so there will be plenty to go around for a family. Thanks for sharing ellie.
