Moroccan Chicken

(with fresh mango and toasted almonds)
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp Moroccan Rub, divided
1 tsp salt, divided
1/3 cup blanched slivered almonds (optional)
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 can (14 oz) chicken broth
½ cup water
1 medium red onion
1 large mango (about 1 lb)
1 pkg (10 oz) uncooked plain couscous (1½ cups)
½ cup lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves
1. Cut chicken into 1-in. pieces with Utility Knife. Combine chicken, 1 tbsp of the rub and ½ tsp of
the salt in Classic Batter Bowl; toss to coat using Master Scraper.
2. If using, place almonds into (12-in.) Skillet; cook over medium heat 4-6 minutes or until golden
brown, stirring frequently. Remove nuts from Skillet using Square Slotted Spoon; set aside. Add
oil to Skillet; heat 1-3 minutes or until shimmering. Add chicken to Skillet in a single layer. Cook
and stir 5-6 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center; remove chicken from Skillet and
keep warm.
3. In Small Batter Bowl, combine broth, water, remaining 1 tbsp rub and remaining ½ tsp salt. Slice
onion lengthwise into thin wedges using Santoku Knife; add to Skillet. Cook 4-5 minutes or until
onion is tender and beginning to caramelize, stirring occasionally. Add broth mixture; bring to a
simmer. Stir to loosen browned bits from bottom of Skillet.
4. Slice mango into thin wedges (see Cook’s Tip). Stir mango, couscous and chicken into broth
mixture. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Snip
cilantro using Kitchen Shears. Toss cilantro into couscous with almonds and serve immediately.
