Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
coarse salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 piece fresh ginger, 2 inches long, peeled
1 cinnamon stick
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 pinch saffron (optional)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup couscous
fresh cilantro stem, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place flour in a wide, shallow bowl.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper; dredge in flour, shaking off excess.

  • Add chicken, and cook until browned, 4 to 6 minutes per side; transfer to a plate.
  • Add onion, ginger, and cinnamon to pot.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion starts to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Return chicken to pot. Add broth, sweet potatoes, and, if using, saffron.
  • Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until chicken is cooked through and sweet potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Discard ginger and cinnamon.
  • Stir in lemon juice, and season stew with salt and pepper.
  • While stew is simmering prepare couscous according to package directions.
  • Serve chicken stew with couscous; garnished with cilantro, if desired.
