Moroccan Chicken With Couscous

I'm thinking i got this from a cookbook originally, but i can't remember which one to save my life. and being me i've changed it around, added some stuff and deleted other stuff anyway, so i guess that'll be all right. this is nice for summer because it adds almost no heat to the kitchen. it's also a nice variation for those trying (or needing) to keep the carbs low. you can use peas or chopped green beans in place of the broccoli.

Steps

Slice chicken into thin strips about an inch long and 1 / 2-inch wide.
Combine ginger , cumin , turmeric , salt and pepper.
Sprinkle over chicken pieces and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet.
Add chicken and garlic and saute for 5 minutes , until chicken is light brown on all sides.
Add the chicken broth and broccoli.
Bring to a boil , then reduce heat to low , cover and simmer 10 minutes , or until chicken is cooked through.
Stir in couscous , cover , remove from heat and let stand 5-7 minutes , until liquid is absorbed.
Serve sprinkled with parsley.
