Recipe Summary
The secret to perfect chicken thighs is browning them on the stovetop in an oven-proof skillet, and then transferring the pan to the oven for the chicken to finish cooking. In this one-pan meal, you'll also throw in Israeli couscous (which is larger and has more bite than its smaller, fluffier cousin), warm spices, shallots, chopped dried dates, and meaty, buttery Castelvetrano olives. After searing, the chicken thighs will continue to cook in the oven, and then crisp up under the heat of the broiler. Showers of fresh cilantro and sweet pomegranate seeds are the finishing touches to a meal that's as ideal for entertaining as it is on a busy weeknight.
