Are you in a hurry for dinner tonight? Try this 30-minute one-pan Moroccan-inspired chicken couscous recipe. It’s quick, easy, and bursting with flavor. Pair it with a side of steamed vegetables for a nutritious weeknight meal.

I don’t know about you, but I love one-pan dishes! Not only do they mean fewer dishes to clean, but they also enhance the flavors of your meal by cooking everything together in the same pan.

Cooked chicken and couscous in a cast-iron skillet with Moroccan spices and fresh herbs

In this recipe, by cooking the couscous in the same pan as the chicken, the couscous soaks up all the juices and spices from the chicken. This not only seasons and moistens the couscous but also amplifies the Moroccan-inspired flavors without the need for extra oil or fat. Plus, it adds a beautiful burst of color to your dish!

Ingredients for a chicken and couscous recipe including chicken breasts, couscous, garlic, shallot, paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, turmeric, cinnamon, lemon, mint, and parsley

Ingredients: What You’ll Need

You’ll need the following ingredients to make this Moroccan-inspired recipe:

Publicité:
  • Chicken: The recipe calls for chicken breasts, but you can use boneless chicken thighs if you prefer.
  • Couscous: Opt for Moroccan couscous made with semolina flour for an authentic North African flavor. If you choose Israeli or pearl couscous, note that it requires a longer oven cooking time.
  • Onion and Garlic: These add depth of flavor to the couscous. While the recipe suggests shallots, you can substitute a small onion.
  • Spices: A rich blend of paprika, cumin, coriander, ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon provides layers of flavor for both the chicken and couscous.
  • Chicken Broth: Essential for cooking and infusing the couscous with flavor.
  • Olive Oil: Used for cooking the chicken and providing moisture to the couscous.
  • Fresh Herbs: A touch of fresh mint and parsley or cilantro adds a finishing touch and balances the spices.
  • Lemon: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brings a refreshing zing to the dish.

Dietary Adaptations

If you have dietary preferences or restrictions, here are some adaptations:

To Make it Gluten-Free: Substitute quinoa for couscous.

To Make it Dairy-Free: No changes are needed; this recipe is dairy-free.
