Place the currants, white raisins and apricots in a bowl and set aside.
In a large, deep frying pan, sauté pine nuts and almonds in Clarified
Butter until golden brown. Remove nuts and transfer to the bowl with
the dried fruit. Set aside.
Rinse chicken and pat dry. Sprinkle very generously on both sides with
MOROCCAN BLEND.
Place chicken in frying pan and brown well on both sides. Add water.
Cover and simmer 35 to 40 minutes, turning occasionally and adding
more water, a little at a time as needed, until chicken is almost done.
Stir in the dried fruit. Check to see that there is still some juice in the
pan. If necessary, add a little more water again so you will have a rich
sauce to pour over the Couscous. Continue cooking until chicken is
done. Stir in the nuts.
To Serve: Place prepared Moroccan Couscous Pilaf on a serving platter.
Arrange chicken over the Couscous. Spoon fruit and nuts on top
and pour juices over all.
