Ingredients

8 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds)

3 carrots, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks

3 onions, thinly sliced

1 can whole tomatoes (14 1/2 ounces)

1 can chickpeas (15 1/2 ounces), drained and rinsed

1 3/4 cups chicken stock, or reduced-sodium canned broth

3/4 cup water

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper

2 zucchini (about 1 pound), halved crosswise and quartered lengthwise

Best Couscous

Preparation

In a Dutch oven, combine chicken, carrots, onions, tomatoes, chickpeas, stock, water, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Break up the tomatoes with a spoon.

Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Add zucchini, and cook until chicken is cooked through, yet still tender, about 15 minutes more.

Serve couscous in bowls. Spoon chicken, vegetables, and broth on top.
