- Put the oil in a deep, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cut the chicken into 1/2- to 3/4-inch cubes. Add in to the skillet, raise the heat to high, and stir once or possibly twice.
- While the chicken browns, peel and quarter the onion and put in a food processor. Pulse till just minced. Add in the onion, cumin, ginger, and paprika to the skillet. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Add in the stock to the skillet and stir with a wide wooden spoon, scraping any bits from the bottom. Cover and bring to a boil, about 2 min.
- Meanwhile, trim the zucchini and slice in half lengthwise. Then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch wide half-moons. When the soup comes to a boil, add in the zucchini and the couscous to the skillet, stir, and cover.
- Open the can of chickpeas into a small colander, rinse, and drain briefly. Add in to the skillet. Cover and let the soup return to a boil, then lower the heat slightly so the soup simmers briskly for 4 min. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chop the leaves from the cilantro sprigs. Stir into the soup, cook for 1 minute, and serve in soup plates.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Comments: I love the exotic smells and flavors of Moroccan cuisine. This dish was inspired by my collaboration with chef Matthew Kenney - a real Moroccan food devotee - on our book Matthew Kenney's Mediterranean Cooking. Serve it with pocketless pita bread or possibly other flatbread.
