Spicy Maple Chicken Couscous Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Saute garlic with red pepper flakes for 2 minutes being careful not to burn garlic. Add the chicken broth, turn up heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Stir in couscous, cover and remove from the heat. Let stand 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and fluff with fork. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

Steps:

• Heat 1/2 the oil in a frying pan and add the diced chicken.
• Cook until browned and put aside.
• Heat the rest of the oil in the frying pan and add the onions, zucchini, coriander, cumin and curry powder.
• Cook until the onion is transparent and the zucchini is soft.
• Add the chicken and the canned tomatoes and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile prepare the couscous.
• Add the sugar to the chicken mixture and simmer for 2 minutes.
• Serve over the couscous or mix together and serve.

Steps:

• Using paper towels, pat the chicken dry and trim off any excess fat. Place in a large resealable plastic bag or medium bowl with a lid.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika and 2 tablespoons salt. Pour into the bag with the chicken, seal and refrigerate overnight or for at least 1 hour.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Pull the brined chicken out of the fridge, drain off the brine and pat the chicken dry. On a rimmed sheet pan, rub the chicken with the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper.
• Set it skin side up and roast for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the juices run clear when pierced and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
• As the chicken roasts, make the glaze: Add the maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, fennel, paprika and ½ cup water to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the mixture has reduced and thickened enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
• Brush the cooked thighs with the glaze and set under the broiler for 30 seconds to 1 minute, keeping an eye on the glaze as it is quick to burn. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil and butter in large skilet pver medium-hot heat.
• Add chicken and cook until pieces start to brown slightly.
• Add maple syrup and siracha, stir to mix well.
• As chicken is cooking heat orange juice in the microwave in a 2 cup glass measuring dish until just boiling, remove from microwave. Add cous cous and cover lightly with plastic wrap. Wait 5 minutes for cous cous to sit.
• Add orange juice/cous cous mixture to the chicken dish. If cous cous seems dry, add a bit more orange juice to the skillet.
• Once chicken is cooked to the proper temperature, remove the pan from heat and add the chopped walnuts, apples and salt and pepper to taste.
