Seasoned with turmeric and garam masala and filled with onions, garlic, green olives and lemon zest, this Eastern inspired chicken is a winner for dinner, every night!
To make Chicken & Couscous One-Pot, you will need the following ingredients:
Toss the chicken thighs in 1 teaspoon turmeric, ½ tablespoon garam masala and a pinch of salt until completely coated.
In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil and add chicken, skin-side down. Fry for 10 minutes, until golden brown, before turning over to cook for another 2 minutes, on the other side. Once cooked, remove from pan.
Add the remaining oil to the pan and fry the onions and garlic for 8 minutes, until golden.
Add the remaining turmeric and garam masala and cook for another 1 minute.
Pour in the chicken stock and add the onions. Bring to a boil.
Once boiling, lower the heat and sit the chicken, skin side up, in the stock. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer for 35-40 minutes until the chicken is tender.
Remove chicken from pan and set aside to keep warm.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the lemon juice and couscous and stir to mix with the saucy onions. Top with enough boiling water to cover the couscous, if needed. Place the lid back on the pan and let stand for 5 minutes, until the couscous is cooked through.
Add half the parsley and lemon zest and using a fork, fluff up the couscous. Sit the chicken on top and garnish with remaining parsley and zest, before serving.
