Spiced Chicken And Vegetable Couscous

• 1 pound boned, skinned chicken breasts
• About 1/8 teaspoon salt
• About 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion (about 8 oz.), peeled and chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon ground dried turmeric
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
• 2 cups cauliflower florets (about 1/2 in.)
• 1 cup baby-cut carrots
• 1 1/2 cups fat-skimmed chicken broth or water
• 1 red bell pepper (about 8 oz.), rinsed, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1 zucchini (about 8 oz.), rinsed, ends trimmed, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 2 cans (14.5 oz. each) diced tomatoes
• 1 package (10 oz.) couscous
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves

1. Rinse chicken and pat dry; cut chicken into 1-inch chunks and sprinkle with about 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch frying pan (with 2- inch-high sides) or a 6-quart pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stir often until browned on the outside but still slightly pink in the center (cut to test), 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and add remaining tablespoon oil to frying pan.
2. Add onion and garlic to pan and stir often until onion is limp, about 5 minutes. Stir in cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne and cook until spices are fragrant, about 1 minute. Add cauliflower, carrots, and chicken broth; bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and simmer until carrots are slightly tender when pierced, 10 minutes. Stir in bell pepper, zucchini, and tomatoes and simmer, uncovered, until zucchini is tender when pierced, 8 to 10 minutes longer. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Meanwhile, in a 3- to 4-quart pan over high heat, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Remove from heat, stir in couscous, cover, and let stand until water is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
4. Fluff couscous with fork and spoon onto a large serving platter. Spoon chicken and vegetables over couscous and sprinkle cilantro over the top.
