Recipe Categories:
Start by seasoning 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken thighs with 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken thighs to the skillet and sear them for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Pour in 1 cup of low-sodium chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Cover the skillet and let the chicken cook for 15-20 minutes until fully cooked and tender.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before shredding it with two forks.
In the meantime, prepare the herbed couscous by cooking 1 cup of couscous according to package instructions, then fluff it with a fork and stir in 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley and the zest of 1 lemon.
For the spicy tahini drizzle, whisk together 1/4 cup of tahini, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of sriracha in a small bowl until smooth.
To assemble, place a generous scoop of herbed couscous on each plate, top with the shredded chicken, and drizzle with the spicy tahini sauce.
Garnish with sesame seeds and additional parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy this delightful fusion dish!
