In a large pot, combine the bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs with water, ensuring the chicken is covered by about 1 inch. Season the mixture generously with salt and add fresh parsley for flavor. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and cover, allowing it to simmer for 2 hours until the chicken is tender and easily falls off the bone.

After simmering, carefully remove the chicken thighs from the pot and set them aside to cool. Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl to catch any solids, discarding the solids afterward. Once cool enough to handle, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces, discarding the skin and bones, and set the shredded chicken aside for later use in your Lemon Chicken Couscous Soup.

In the same pot, warm a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped yellow onion and chopped celery, sautéing them for about 5 minutes until they become soft and fragrant. Stir in the Cancale seasoning salt and adjust the seasoning to taste, allowing the flavors to meld together as the base of your comforting soup develops.

Now, bring life to your Lemon Chicken Couscous Soup by adding the pearl couscous to the sautéed vegetables in the pot. Pour in the strained chicken broth and incorporate the shredded chicken, bringing the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes until the couscous is tender and fully cooked, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Once the couscous is perfectly tender, remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the freshly chopped dill and the juice of one lemon, allowing the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes. This brightens the flavors and brings a fresh zing to the comforting broth, enhancing the overall experience of your Lemon Chicken Couscous Soup.

Ladle the aromatic Lemon Chicken Couscous Soup into bowls and garnish each serving with a sprinkle of dukkah, oyster crackers, or saltines for an added crunch. You can drizzle a slight amount of olive oil on top for a final touch.
