Zaafran Chicken Couscous is a flavorful North African-inspired dish that brings together tender, marinated chicken with steamed couscous infused with aromatic zaafran (saffron) spices. The recipe typically includes an array of vibrant ingredients such as slow-cooked vegetables—like carrots, zucchini, and chickpeas—alongside a medley of warm spices including turmeric, cinnamon, and cumin. This dish is rich in lean protein from the chicken and provides a balanced source of carbohydrates through the semolina-based couscous. Packed with fiber from the vegetables and chickpeas, it promotes digestion and satiety. Low in saturated fats, Zaafran Chicken Couscous allows for a wholesome, nutritious meal, perfect for those seeking a balanced diet. However, its sodium content may vary depending on seasoning and broth used, so mindful preparation is advised.
