Curried Chicken With Couscous

• Chicken and Curry
• 1 lb (500 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3/4 tsp (4 mL) salt
• 1/4 tsp (1 mL) ground black pepper
• 4 medium carrots
• 1 medium onion
• 1 tsp (5 mL) vegetable oil
• 2 tsp (10 mL) curry powder * I usually do to taste but it depends on preference and also how spicy the curry is. Just get red curry at grocery store, tends to have a mild spiciness to it.
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) golden raisins
• 1 can (13.5 oz/398 mL) coconut milk
• Couscous
• 2 cups (500 mL) chicken broth *low sodium from Swanson's brand at local grocery store.
• 1 1/3 cups (325 mL) uncooked plain couscous
• 1 Tbsp (15 mL) butter
• 2 Tbsp (30 mL) snipped fresh cilantro plus additional for garnish * I use parsley because I tend to not like the taste of cilantro again has to do with taste and preference.

1. 1. For chicken, cut into 1-in pieces. Lightly coat with e.v.o.o. Heat skillet over medium-high heat 1-3 minutes our until hot. As skillet heats, combine salt, and black pepper in a small prep bowl. Season chicken with half of the black pepper mixture. Cook chicken about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Turn chicken over; cook 2-3 minutes or until center of chicken is no longer pink. Remove from skillet; set aside.
2. 2. As chicken cooks, peel carrots; cut in half lengthwise, then thinly slice on a bias. Cut onion in half lengthwise, the crosswise into 1/2-in. wedges. Add oil to skillet. Saute carrots and onion 5 minutes or until crisp-tender or el dente, stirring occasionally. Stir curry pwder, raisins, coconut milk and remaining black pepper mixture into skillet. Add chicken; simmer 3-5 minutes or until sauce begins to thicken.
3. 3. Meanwhile, for couscous, pour broth into a rice cooker and cover, or cook in a microwave safe dish on High for 3 minutes or until boiling. Stir couscous and butter into broth. Cover; let stand 5 minutes. As couscous stands, snip cilantro or parsley. Fluff couscous with a fork; stir in cilantro or parsley.
4. 4. To serve, divide couscous among serving plates; spoon chicken mixture over couscous. Garnish with additional cilantro or parsley.
