Servings: persons

3 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup quick-cooking couscous
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into cubes
1 pinch ground black pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped jalapeno chile peppers
1 carrot, thinly sliced
1 zucchini, diced
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger root
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander seed
1 teaspoon cornstarch

1
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of the chicken broth to a boil. Stir in couscous and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the olive oil. Turn off heat, cover, and let stand 10 minutes.
2
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in the chicken, season with pepper, and cook until no longer pink and juices run clear. Remove chicken from the skillet, and set aside.
3
Heat the remaining olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Stir in the jalapeno peppers and carrot, and saute about 2 minutes. Mix in the zucchini, green onions, ginger, and 1/4 cup chicken broth. Continue to cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes.

In a small bowl, blend the remaining 1 cup chicken broth with curry powder, coriander, and cornstarch. Pour over the vegetables. Return chicken to the skillet. Continue cooking about 2 minutes until chicken is coated and the broth mixture begins to thicken. Serve over the couscous.
