This is a surprisingly delicious chicken dish that uses no added fat or salt, and sets off the couscous perfectly. Don't skip the sultanas even if you're not fond of them - they don't overpower the sauce but add a subtle sweetness to the whole dish.

What a DELICIOUS dish-I thought DH was going to lick the plate clean!!! Only change I made was to use thighs instead of breasts. Made brown rice and topped all w/ lime and cilantro and served w/ green salad and Recipe #121941. Thank you, Bungy, for another great recipe! Made for Fall PAC 2008.
