Directions

Prep 15 minCook 20 min

1
Warm one-third of the olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick sauté pan or deep skillet over medium-high heat.
2
Add the diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle in half of the cumin, coriander, and cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through, about 6–8 minutes; transfer to foil and wrap to keep warm.
3
Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Stir in the red bell pepper and onion and sauté until starting to soften, about 5 minutes.
4
Add the carrots and garlic, then the remaining cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and the turmeric. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5
Pour in the chicken broth and add the raisins; season to taste with salt and pepper and bring to a boil.
6
Stir in the couscous, cover, remove from the heat, and let stand until the couscous is tender and has absorbed the liquid, 5–6 minutes.
7
Fluff the couscous, then fold in the reserved chicken and any juices, lemon juice, almonds, cilantro, and mint. Taste and adjust seasoning; serve warm.
