Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Coarse salt and pepper 3 bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves, cut in half (3 pounds) 1 small yellow onion, chopped 1 1/2 cups Israeli couscous 1/2 cup sliced dried apricots 1/4 cup capers 2 1/2 cups chicken broth Fresh cilantro, for serving

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large straight-sided, oven-safe skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

Add onion and saute until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in couscous, apricots, and capers and cook until couscous is lightly toasted, 3 minutes. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Add chicken, skin side up, and transfer to oven. Bake until couscous is tender and chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with cilantro.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       07/12/2017   Delicious and easy! Like another commenter, I substituted rice for couscous, and it was still great. Apricots gave everything a wonderful flavour, and the capers blended in subtly.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/11/2013   I substituted couscous with Thai jasmine rice because my sis-in-law is allergic to wheat. I would never have thought to combine dried apricots and capers to a chicken dish. Everyone loved it. Nice presentation too. Thank you!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/04/2013   This was a great one-pot recipe, full flavored and not too fussy for a school night. Will make again!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/19/2013   Wow. What a great recipe. It is a very simplified version of Chicken Mirabella but a lot quicker to make.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/19/2013   Wanting to make for tomorrow nights dinner...how do I print recipe without pictures? Why do you keep changing the website for these videos...I watch everyday and want to print recipes!!!!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/19/2013   Delicious and super easy! Kids were not interested in the couscous, but ate the chicken. My husband dubbed this a "keeper."
