Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 6

Ingredients

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 pounds skinless, bone-in chicken thighs
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 can (14 ounces) low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup drained canned chickpeas, rinsed
3 carrots, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup raisins
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
4 to 5 sprigs fresh thyme
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 box (5.8 ounces) couscous

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the flour in an ovenproof bag; shake to coat inside. Place bag in a small roasting pan.

    Step 2

    Season chicken with the salt, and place in bag. Add broth, chickpeas, carrots, raisins, onion, garlic, ginger, thyme, mustard, and zest to bag; tie bag closed, and shake to combine. Set in pan, and make four 1/2-inch slits in bag near opening. Bake chicken mixture in bag in the roasting pan until chicken is very tender, 1 hour 30 minutes.

    Step 3

    While the chicken cooks, prepare the couscous according to package instructions, omitting any fat. Serve chicken and sauce over couscous.
