Moroccan Chicken with Couscous

i'm thinking i got this from a cookbook originally, but i can't remember which one to save my life. and being me i've changed it around, added some stuff and deleted other stuff anyway, so i guess that'll be all right. this is nice for summer because it adds almost no heat to the kitchen. it's also a nice variation for those trying (or needing) to keep the carbs low. you can use peas or chopped green beans in place of the broccoli.
