Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 tsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 tsp all-purpose flour
4 bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed ( about 1-1/2 lb) or 4 two bone-in chicken breasts
1 1/2 tsp olive oil
3 shallots, chopped
1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided
4 pitted dates, chopped
1 tsp all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp minced fresh cilantro
1/4 cup water
3 tbsp reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/8 tsp salt
1 dash ground cumin
1/3 cup uncooked couscous
1 1/2 tsp slivered almonds, toasted

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Set aside 1 teaspoon spice mixture; add flour to remaining mixture and sprinkle over chicken.
In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, brown chicken in oil on both sides. Remove and keep warm. Add shallots to the pan; cook and stir over medium heat for 3 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup broth and dates. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; return chicken to the pan.
Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Remove chicken and keep warm. Combine flour with reserved spice mixture and remaining broth until smooth; gradually stir into the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Sir in cilantro.
For couscous, in a small saucepan, bring the water, broth, salt and cumin to a boil. Stir in couscous. Cover and remove from the heat; let stand for 5-10 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork, then stir in almonds. Serve with chicken and sauce.
