The yogurt sauce's cooling effect balances the heat of the spiced chicken thighs. Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked couscous |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 teaspoon ground coriander |
1 teaspoon ground turmeric |
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper |
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided |
8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds) |
cooking spray |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic |
1 (6-ounce) carton plain fat-free yogurt |
cilantro sprigs (optional) |
Directions:
1. Cook couscous according to package directions, omitting salt and fat.
2. Combine cumin and next 4 ingredients (through pepper) in a bowl; stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle spice mixture over chicken. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add chicken to pan; cook 6 minutes on each side or until done.
3. Combine remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, chopped cilantro, garlic, and yogurt in a bowl, stirring well. Serve with chicken and couscous. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, if desired.
