This is a surprisingly delicious chicken dish that uses no added fat or salt, and sets off the couscous perfectly. Don't skip the sultanas even if you're not fond of them - they don't overpower the sauce but add a subtle sweetness to the whole dish. Ingredients:
2 small chicken breasts, cubed |
2 large onions, chopped |
1 green capsicum, chopped |
3 carrots, sliced |
2 large potatoes, peeled and chopped |
1 (400 g) can tomatoes with juice |
1/2 cup sultana |
1 teaspoon soy sauce |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/4 teaspoon turmeric |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
4 saffron strands (optional) |
2 1/2 cups water (approx) or 2 1/2 cups chicken stock (approx) |
1 (400 g) can chickpeas, drained |
4 cups zucchini, sliced |
1/2 cup green peas, frozen |
2 cups couscous (to serve) |
Directions:
1. Place chicken, onions, capsicum, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, sultanas and all seasonings.
