20-MINUTE CHICKEN THIGHS AND COUSCOUS WITH DILL
Using boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts is a smart way to make sure the meat stays moist and flavorful. And we love the way grape tomatoes soften under the heat of the broiler, adding more juicy goodness to the chicken. Lots of lemon, plus dill and oregano, give the dish a Greek feel.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack about 4 inches away from the broiler heat source, and preheat. Bring 1 1/2 cups water, the butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a simmer in a covered medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat, quickly stir in the couscous and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the couscous with a fork, stir in the dill, cover and set aside.
- Meanwhile, toss the chicken, tomatoes, lemon zest and juice, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, oregano and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together on a rimmed baking sheet. Unfold the chicken thighs so they're covered with the marinade, and lay them as flat as possible. Broil until the chicken is cooked through and browned, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the pan and flipping the tomatoes and chicken halfway through.
- Transfer two chicken thighs and a few tomatoes to each plate. Stir the pan juices into the dilled couscous. Place 1 1/4 cups of couscous on each plate, and top with a scoop of chopped cucumbers, a dollop of yogurt and a lemon wedge.

Steps:
- Place the couscous in a mixing bowl, and add about 1 1/3 cups cold water, stirring it with your fingers until all of the couscous is dampened. Let the moistened couscous rest for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a large quantity of water to the boil in a large pot in which you can fit a colander (or use a traditional couscoussiere).
- Drain the couscous in the colander, and crumble it with your fingers to break up any lumps. Place the colander containing the couscous on top of the pot of boiling water. Let it steam about 20 minutes. Empty the couscous into a mixing bowl and add 8 tablespoons butter at room temperature. Stir quickly and thoroughly until grains of cereal are coated with butter.
- Trim off the ends of the eggplant and zucchini. Do not peel. Cut the eggplant and zucchini in half lengthwise. Cut both vegetables into 1 1/2-inch lengths. There should be about 6 cups eggplant and 3 cups zucchini.
- Remove the core from the peppers. Split each in half, and remove the white veins and the seeds. Cut the peppers into 1-inch cubes. There should be about 3 cups.
- Split the acorn squash in half. Scrape out the fibers and seeds from the center. Cut away the stem. Cut the unskinned vegetable into 1-inch cubes. There should be about 4 cups.
- Heat a large skillet and add the oil. When it is quite hot, add the lamb, sprinkling with salt and pepper, and cook, turning the pieces occasionally, about 10 minutes.
- Put the lamb into a large kettle and add the lamb broth. Bring to the boil and cook about 50 minutes.
- Put the leeks, celery, carrots, turnips and onion in a second kettle. Strain all the lamb broth over this. Let the cubed lamb remain in the first kettle. Bring the broth and vegetable mixture to the boil. Cook over moderately high heat about 15 minutes. Add the remaining vegetables and the roast chicken. Cover and let cook about 8 minutes.
- Add the cubed lamb, meatballs and chickpeas to the stew, and continue cooking 5 minutes.
- To serve, remove the meats (chicken pieces, meatballs, lamb cubes) from the stew. Spoon an equal portion of the hot couscous cereal into warm soup plates. Spoon an equal portion of the meats and vegetables onto each serving. Spoon some of the harissa into a small bowl and add a ladle of soup onto it. Blend. Add the harissa according to individual taste.
