Ingredients

DESCRIPTION

This common North African dish is also served in southern Spain and Italy. Often it's made as a stew because the region's farm-raised chickens require long cooking to become tender. This version is quicker because chickens in American supermarkets are more tender. Lightly blanching the olives brings out the true flavor of the fruit by removing the briny overtones.



INGREDIENTS

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 chicken thighs (about 2 pounds), skinned
  • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
  • 2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • Dash of ground red pepper
  • 1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 2/3 cup pitted green olives
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 cups hot cooked couscous
