For a richer flavor, consider marinating the chicken in a mixture of yogurt, ginger, garlic, and a pinch of garam masala for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Adjust the amount of jalapeño peppers to suit your spice preference. For a milder dish, remove the seeds and membranes before chopping.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the stew, such as bell peppers, eggplant, or chickpeas, to create your own unique variation.
If you don't have fresh ginger on hand, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of ground ginger.
For a gluten-free option, use quinoa or rice instead of couscous.

    I added a can of chickpeas for extra protein and fiber. It was a great addition!

    I've made this several times now. It's a great way to use up leftover vegetables.

    The couscous was so fluffy! The key is to let it sit, covered, for the full 10 minutes.

  • Shanon Ratke

    The jalapeños give it the perfect amount of kick. I used less for my kids, though.

  • Mittie Beier

    I didn’t have fresh ginger, so I used ground ginger and it worked just fine.
