Critical Success Points

  • Brown the chicken and onion to develop flavors.
  • Maintain the water ratio so the pearl couscous absorbs without sticking.
  • Stir the couscous gently during the final cooking to prevent burning.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw chicken with clean hands and disinfect surfaces and utensils after use.
  • Be careful of hot oil splatters when sautéing.
  • Use oven mitts or a kitchen glove to handle the hot pot.
