Chicken Couscous

This one is from the Better Homes and Gardens One-Dish Dinners cookbook. I'm not sure how it fits the category, since it clearly uses more than one dish, but I don't care. It's a keeper, regardless!

For all the WW-ers out there, this dish is Core if you omit the raisins. (Or you can leave them in and count the points...)

2 medium onions, cut into thin wedges
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
16 packaged, peeled baby carrots (about 3/4 cup)
2 medium zucchini, quartered and cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chicken broth
2-3 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups couscous

In a large saucepan, cook onions and garlic in hot oil 3 minutes. Add chicken and carrots. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat 5 minutes, stirring often. Stir in zucchini, raisins, 1/2 cup broth, curry powder, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp salt. Cover, cook 3-4 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are crisp-tender.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan bring 2 cups chicken broth and remaining cinnamon to boiling. Stir in couscous, cover. Remove from heat, let stand 5 minutes. Fluff lightly with a fork before serving.

To serve, divide the couscous among four plates. Spoon chicken and vegetable mixture over couscous. If desired, garnish with 1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds. (ME: the almonds are also not Core, obviously.)
