freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoonolive oil
¼ cupgolden raisins
1 teaspoonground turmeric

2 cupsno-salt-added chicken broth
1bay leaf
4 stemsflat-leaf parsley

1 tablespoonfresh lemon juice
Instructions
Step 1
Cut the onion into small dice. Scrub the carrot well, then trim it. Cut the carrot into small dice. Mince the garlic. Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces, then season them lightly with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or saute pan with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the onion, carrot, garlic, chicken, raisins, turmeric and cumin, stirring to incorporate. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring a few times, or until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside. (It will not be cooked through.)
Step 3
Add the couscous and broth, then a small pinch each of salt and pepper and the bay leaf. Increase the heat to medium-high; once the liquid starts bubbling at the edges, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the couscous is tender and the chicken is cooked through. You may uncover during that time just long enough to stir once or twice.
Step 4
Meanwhile, finely chop the parsley.
Step 5
Uncover and discard the bay leaf. Use two forks to fluff the mixture a bit. Squeeze the lemon juice over couscous.
Step 6
Divide among individual plates or wide, shallow bowls. Garnish each portion with parsley. Serve warm.
