Chicken Stew with Couscous, Spinach and Parmesan

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1/2 cup pearl couscous (also called Israeli couscous)
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
  • kosher salt and black
  • 1 bunch spinach, stems discarded and roughly chopped
  • grated Parmesan, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Step 1
Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and couscous. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and the couscous is lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and rosemary. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 2
Add the broth, chicken, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the couscous is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the chicken and, using 2 forks, coarsely shred; return it to the pot. Stir in the spinach.

Step 3
Serve topped with the Parmesan.
