Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, coat the chicken thighs with olive oil, berbere spice mix, salt, and black pepper. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the marinated chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from skillet and let rest.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Couscous

    In a saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Add couscous, stir, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

    Cook the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add diced carrots and zucchini. Sauté for about 5-6 minutes until tender. Add chickpeas and spinach, cooking until the spinach is wilted.
