Ingredients

  • 1. A generous sprinkling of exotic Moroccan spice blend
  • 2. A generous portion of tender chicken strips
  • 3. A couple of drizzles of fragrant olive oil
  • 4. A dollop of rich, creamy butter
  • 5. A handful of finely chopped crimson onion
  • 6. A single carrot, finely chopped
  • 7. A duo of minced garlic cloves
  • 8. A heap of delicate pearl couscous from Israel
  • 9. A generous helping of flavorful chicken broth
  • 10. A handful of chickpeas, thoroughly rinsed and drained
  • 11. A sprinkle of toasted almonds

Step 1

Begin by gently coating the chicken in a delightful blend of 1 tablespoon of olive oil and fragrant Moroccan seasoning in a dish.

Step 2

Prepare your versatile pressure cooker, like the beloved Instant Pot®. Switch on the Saute function and add a tablespoon of olive oil along with a dollop of butter once the pot is heated. Sear the chicken until it acquires a gorgeous brown hue, approximately 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Once done, set the chicken aside to keep warm.

Step 3

In the same pot, sauté a medley of onion, carrot, and garlic until they become tender and aromatic, which usually takes about 5 minutes. Introduce pearl couscous, broth, and chickpeas into the mix, stirring everything together harmoniously. Stop the Saute function and nestle the chicken back into the pot.

Step 4

Seal the lid securely and engage the high-pressure setting as per the manufacturer's guidelines. Set the timer for a quick 5 minutes and patiently allow the pressure to build for 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 5

With caution, release the pressure swiftly using the quick-release method specified by the manufacturer, which typically takes around 5 minutes. Unlock the lid and unveil your culinary masterpiece. Serve the succulent chicken garnished with a sprinkle of crunchy almonds on top for an added touch of elegance.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. When storing your flavorful Moroccan chicken delight in the Instant Pot, ensure it has cooled completely before transferring it to a container.
  2. 2. Consider using glass containers with airtight lids to keep the dish fresh and prevent any spills or leaks in the fridge.
