INSTANT POT CHICKEN WITH QUINOA, PISTACHIOS AND APRICOTS
This is going to be your new go-to healthy weeknight dinner. Full of protein and fiber, this dish is light, yet very satisfying. The heat of the chile and ginger balance out the sweetness of the apricot, and the pistachios provide a pleasant crunch.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Add the oil, garlic, chile, onion, ginger, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to a 6-quart Instant Pot®. Set to saute on high (see Cook's Note), and cook, stirring frequently so the garlic and ginger don't burn, until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the quinoa, chicken broth and half the rosemary and cover with the glass lid. Let boil for 5 minutes.
- Carefully place the rack in the pot and lay the chicken on top in an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining rosemary over the top. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high pressure for 1 minute.
- After the pressure cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release and wait until the natural release cycle is complete, about 5 minutes. Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock and remove the lid. (See Cook's Note.) Transfer the chicken to a plate and let sit uncovered until ready to serve.
- Set to saute on high and continue to cook the quinoa until all of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Remove the insert from the pot and stir in the apricots and pistachios. Serve the chicken over the quinoa and top with the mint, scallions, a squeeze of lemon and a drizzle of olive oil.

- Soak chopped onion in lemon juice: Place the chopped onion in a small bowl. Pour the lemon juice over the onions, set aside and let the onions soak in the lemon juice.

- Cook the couscous: Put 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add one tablespoon of olive oil and one teaspoon of salt to the water. Once the salt dissolves, stir in the couscous, turn off the heat and cover the pot. Move the pot off the hot burner and let the couscous steam, covered, for 5-6 minutes.

ISRAELI COUSCOUS WITH PISTACHIOS AND APRICOTS
This recipe was adapted from Veganomics: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook. They write that it is Turkish inspired and suggest serving it with grilled vegetables or sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts, and/or red pepper. It sounds good to me, but I love cardamom and cinnamon. Thank you Citruholic and LA Kate for your helpful reviews! Use Veggie broth if you prefer.

Steps:
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking. Add the chicken, and cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons oil.
- Reduce heat to medium; add onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Add garlic; saute briefly. Add apricots, cinnamon, saffron, ginger, coriander, 2/3 cup water, and 2 tablespoons honey; season with salt.
- Return chicken to skillet; bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until chicken is cooked through and liquid is thickened, 45 to 50 minutes. (If sauce has not thickened, transfer chicken to a platter and place it into an oven preheated to 200 degrees to keep warm. Reduce sauce to desired consistency.) Add remaining 2 tablespoons honey and salt to taste. Pour over chicken on platter.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring stock to a boil. Place couscous and butter in a medium bowl. Pour stock over couscous; cover with plastic wrap. Let stand until the couscous absorbs all the stock, about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, and season with salt. Stir in almonds. Serve couscous with chicken, and garnish with sesame seeds.
