Ingredients

  • 3 oz chicken breast
  • 1/4 cup eggplant, cubed
  • 1/4 cup zucchini, cubed
  • 1 small tomato, cubed
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup Israeli couscous, cooked
  • lemon & cilantro for garnish
  • 1 1/2 tsp. sweet paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp. coriander
  • 1/4 tsp. cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

  2. Cut your chicken up into chunks and place in small bowl. Sprinkle about half of the spice mix over your chicken and coat the chicken thoroughly. Set aside.
  3. Heat a sautee pan with a tablespoon of the chicken stock. Place your garlic in the stock and mix around. Let cook for 3-4 minutes until garlic release aroma and starts to brown.
  4. Add in eggplant, zucchini, tomato and the rest of the chicken stock. Then stir in the rest of the spice mix. Cover and let simmer for about 8 minutes until the eggplant and zucchini are soft.
