2 tablespoons chopped garlic

1-1/2 cups chopped, unpeeled, seeded zucchini

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 cup honey

Instructions

In a large Dutch oven, mix all of the ingredients except the chicken; stir to blend, and add the chicken. Turn to coat. Cover and cook for 45 minutes over medium-low heat, until the chicken is tender.

Couscous:

Ingredients

2-1/4 cups chicken broth

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1/2 cup chopped roasted red bell pepper

In a medium saucepan, about 15 minutes before serving, combine the broth, turmeric, and roasted red pepper. Cover and bring to a boil.

To serve, spoon the couscous onto a serving platter, arrange the chicken on top, and pour the sauce from the Dutch oven over the chicken. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
