Ingredients:

Serving

1 tsp olive oil
1 lb skinless, boneless chicken thighs, halved
1 cup chopped onion (about 1 medium)
1 tbsp grated peeled fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp fennel seeds
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup dried apricots, halved
1/2 cup pitted dried plums, halved
1/2 tsp salt
20 pitted kalamata olives, halved
1 (14-oz) can fat-free , less-sodium chicken broth
3 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp grated lemon rind
3 cups hot cooked couscous

Directions:

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Place chicken on a plate, and keep warm.
Add onion to pan; sauté for 4 minutes or until golden. Add ginger and garlic; sauté for 30 seconds. Stir in turmeric, cumin, fennel seeds, and cinnamon; sauté for 15 seconds, stirring constantly. Return chicken to pan. Add apricots and the next 4 ingredients (through broth); bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes or until chicken is tender. Remove from heat; stir in cilantro and rind. Serve over couscous.
Wine note: This dish tantalizes your tongue with its lush fruit textures and the balance between sweet and savory flavors. It needs a wine that is equally rich and complex, as well as one that can really hold up to the sweetness of the dried fruit. A ripe German riesling is an ideal partner, because it mirrors both the fruitiness and the voluptuous textures of the tagine. An utterly gorgeous example is the Dr. Loosen Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Spätlese 2006 from the Mosel region, about $35. —Karen MacNeil
