- In a roasting pan, combine the remaining chicken ingredients except for the raisins.
- Place the chicken pieces on top of the mixture and coat well.
- Roast uncovered for 20 minutes.
- Baste meat with pan juices 3-4 times , roasting approximately 30 minutes more or until done. (Internal temperature should read 165º). Last 10 minutes of cooking, stir in the raisins.
- While waiting for the chicken to roast, prepare the couscous: Bring the broth to a boil in a pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Add everything except for the cilantro, cover and simmer for 3 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and leave the pan covered for 7 additional minutes or until all liquid is absorbed.
- Transfer chicken to a serving platter. Pour any pan juices from the roasting pan onto the chicken breasts.
