Moroccan Chicken Stew and cous cous

There's been a few requests for the recipe for this delicious stew, so here it is.. (thanks Beth for sharing it with me!)

In a large pot heat 1 tbs of olive oil for 2 minutes then add 1 small diced onion and 3 cloves of minced garlic, saute for 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 tsp tumeric, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 2 bay leaves and 3 whole cloves. cook for 3 minutes. Add 2 cups of chicken broth and 4 raw skinless/boneless chicken breasts plus 1 can of diced tomatoes. Simmer covered for 25 minutes. Stir in 1 large sliced carrot, 1 cup peas, 4 small squash, 1 cup corn, 1 can of chick peas (drain and rinsed), 1 tsp salt and 1/2 cup of raisins. Simmer 10 more minutes, break the chicken up into pieces and serve over whole wheat cous cous.

For the couscous, bring 2 cups of chicken broth, 1 cup of water and 1 tbs of butter to a boil, add 2 cups of whole wheat cous cous, remove from heat, cover for 5 minutes then fluff with a fork. Serve stew in a bowl over the cous cous. Enjoy!!
