I, of course, rearranged the recipe to make it my own. It was fantastic, and enjoyed by both me and the small boy.
Chicken and Couscous Stew
3 four-oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of any fat and cut into bite-sized pieces
2 carrots, sliced
1 large onion, sliced thinly
20 oz can of chick peas, rinsed and drained
15 oz can of diced tomatoes (with liquid)
4 cloves garlic, pressed through a garlic press
1t paprika (I used Hot Hungarian Paprika but you can use sweet if you object or can't get it)
1/2 t ground ginger
1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t turmeric
1/2 t salt
Throw everything into the crock pot and mix well to distribute spices. Cook on high for 3 hours and low for 1 hour, then on warm until it's time to eat. If you have more time than that you can keep it on low for 6 hours.
I ran this through the weight watchers recipe builder. Based on 4 servings, this comes to a whopping 5 points per serving. One serving was plenty for a hearty dinner when served with whole wheat couscous (1 cup = 3 points) for an 8-point meal.
Although I hate when my husband is out of town, it was a nice chance to try a new recipe and eat something that we can't normally have when he is home! My house smelled amazing while it was cooking, and it was quite tasty, too.
