Prep

Step 1. Season the Chicken Thigh with half the Salt.

Cook

Step 2. Heat the Olive Oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned in spots, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate; it will finish cooking later.
Step 3. Add the Onion, Carrot, and remaining Salt to the skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
Step 4. Stir in the Garlic and Ras el Hanout. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 5. Return the chicken and any juices to the skillet. Add the Chickpeas, Dried Apricots, and Chicken Broth; bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until the chicken is cooked through with no pink inside, about 8 minutes.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Stir in the Couscous, cover, and remove from the heat. Let stand until the couscous is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
Step 7. Fluff the couscous with a fork. Serve with Lemon to squeeze over the top and sprinkle with Cilantro, if using.

Tips

Good to know

Check the chicken with an instant-read thermometer; it should reach 165°F.

Swap it

For a gluten-free dinner, cook rice separately and serve the chicken mixture over it instead of adding couscous.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftovers promptly in shallow containers for up to 3 days, then reheat until steaming.
