Are you tired of the same old dinnertime fare? Then spice it up with a Malaysian-inspired chicken stew. Served on a bed of couscous, this recipe for two is as good as it gets. —Agnes Ward, Stratford, Ontario

Ingredients

2/3 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
Dash ground cinnamon
1-1/2 cups cubed peeled sweet potatoes
3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup water
1 tablespoon thawed orange juice concentrate
1/2 cup uncooked couscous
1 tablespoon cornstarch
6 tablespoons light coconut milk

In a large skillet, saute the chicken, ginger and garlic in oil until chicken juices run clear. Add the onion, pepper and seasonings; saute 4-5 minutes longer. Add sweet potatoes and broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until tender.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring water and orange juice concentrate to a boil. Stir in couscous. Cover and remove from the heat; let stand for 5-10 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
Combine cornstarch and coconut milk until smooth. Stir into chicken mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in cilantro. Serve with couscous.
