GARLIC CHICKEN WITH ISRAELI COUSCOUS



Garlic Chicken with Israeli Couscous image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 whole garlic bulbs
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 large bunch fresh thyme, leaves only
1 tablespoon cumin seeds, toasted and ground
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
One 4-to-5-pound chicken, cut into 8 to 10 parts
Kosher salt
2 cups medium-size Israeli couscous
Extra-virgin olive oil
3 ribs celery, sliced thin on the bias
1 large onion, sliced
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
3 tablespoons tomato paste
Large pinch saffron
2 zucchini, green part only, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 to 3 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
3 scallions, white and green, sliced thinly on the bias

Steps:

  • For the garlic chicken: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put the garlic bulbs straight on the oven rack and roast them until they are soft when squeezed, about 30 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let cool. Turn the oven up to 375 degrees F.
  • While garlic is roasting, prep the chicken. Into a food processor or a bowl, add the lemon zest and juice and set aside. When the garlic bulbs are cool, slice the tops off and squeeze out the roasted garlic into the bowl or food processor along with the thyme, cumin, crushed red pepper and salt to taste. Add a little olive oil and puree or mash into a loose paste. Massage the mixture all over the chicken pieces and let sit for at least 1 hour.
  • For the couscous: Bring a pot of well salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the couscous and cook it until it's about two-thirds of the way cooked, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and reserve.
  • Coat a large saute pan with olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and brown it on all sides.
  • Remove it to a plate, drain the fat and add the celery and onions. Season with salt and crushed red pepper. Deglaze with the white wine, scraping up all the crud on the bottom of the pan, and cook for 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes. Add in the saffron, zucchini, cooked couscous and chicken stock. Stir to combine, and then taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Transfer the mix to an ovenproof dish. Nestle the chicken, skin-side up, in the couscous and cover with foil. Add some more chicken stock to keep everything nice and moist. Sprinkle with pine nuts and cover with foil. Place the baking dish on a sheet pan.
  • Roast the chicken for 20 minutes, and then remove the foil and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven and top with scallions before serving.

CHICKEN & COUSCOUS ONE-POT



Chicken & couscous one-pot image

This one-pot meal is perfect for fuss-free midweek entertaining

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 skin on, bone-in chicken thighs
2 tsp turmeric
1 tbsp garam masala
2 tbsp sunflower oil
2 onions, finely sliced
3 garlic cloves, sliced
500ml chicken stock (from a cube is fine)
large handful whole green olives
zest and juice 1 lemon
250g couscous
small bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Toss the chicken thighs in half the spices and a pinch of salt until completely coated. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large sauté pan with a lid. Fry chicken, skin-side down, for 10 mins until golden brown, turn over, then cook for 2 mins before removing from the pan. Pour the rest of the oil into the pan, then fry the onions and garlic for 8 mins until golden. Stir in the rest of the spices, then cook for 1 min longer. Pour over the chicken stock and scatter in the olives. Bring everything to the boil, turn down the heat, then sit the chicken, skinside up, in the stock.
  • Cover the pan with a lid, then simmer gently for 35-40 mins until the chicken is tender. Put the kettle on, then lift the chicken onto a plate and keep warm. Take the pan off the heat. Stir the lemon juice and couscous into the saucy onions in the pan and top up with enough boiling water just to cover the couscous if you need to. Place the lid back on the pan, then leave to stand for 5 mins until the couscous is cooked through. Fluff through half the parsley and the lemon zest, then sit the chicken on top. Scatter with the rest of the parsley and zest before serving.

MOROCCAN-INSPIRED CHICKEN COUSCOUS



Moroccan-Inspired Chicken Couscous image

Easy chicken couscous dinner with baked chicken thighs, warm Moroccan spices and fluffy couscous! If you like, add a big salad to start the meal.

Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
4 tablespoons tomato paste
4 cloves garlic ((minced))
2 teaspoon Ras el Hanout
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ((divided))
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
6 to 8 chicken thighs ((boneless, skinless))
kosher salt and black pepper
3 carrots ((cut into 1-inch pieces))
2 celery ribs ((cut into 1-inch pieces))
1 red onion ((large, halved and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices))
handful of raisins ((optional))
extra virgin olive oil
1 cup couscous
1 cup water ((or chicken broth))
kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup fresh parsley ((chopped))

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Make the seasoning rub. In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, tomato paste, garlic, and spices. Whisk to combine.
  • Pat the chicken dry and season with kosher salt and black pepper on both side. Pour about 3/4 of the rub you just made all over the chicken (reserve the rest for later) and toss to make sure all the pieces are well coated. Set aside for now.
  • Put the vegetables and onions in a mixing bowl. Season with kosher salt and black pepper and pour the remaining seasoning rub. Toss to combine.
  • Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a large baking pan or rimmed sheet pan.
  • Bake in the center of the heated-oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear. The vegetables should also soften and gain some char.
  • While the chicken and veggies are baking, prepare the couscous. Boil the water or both until bubbling. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a saucepan. Add the couscous and cook, tossing regularly, until the couscous is toasted to golden brown. Season with kosher salt and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Add the boiled water. Immediately turn the heat off and cover the saucepan. Leave the couscous undisturbed for 10 minutes, the couscous should absorb all the liquid. When ready, add the fresh parsley and fluff the couscous with a fork.
  • When the chicken is fully cooked through, remove it from the oven. Spoon the couscous between the chicken pieces and allow it about 5 minutes to sop up some of the pan juices. Finish with the raisins, if you like.
