Moroccan Style Couscous

This is my version of the couscous dish served at our local moroccan restaurant. I used more chicken because i wanted it to be a one-dish meal, and i added dried currants because it just seemed at the time to be the right thing to do. And it was.

Steps

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
Add onions and saute until translucent.
Add garlic , curry powder , cinnamon , cumin , and salt.
Cook for a few minutes , stirring frequently , until fragrant.
Add chicken , chicken broth , potatoes , carrots , currants , and chickpeas.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat , cover , and simmer until carrots and potatoes are tender.
Return to a boil , add couscous , and stir well.
Cover , remove from heat , and let sit for about ten minutes.
Fluff with a fork before serving.
