Spiced Chicken & Couscous

with Sautéed Summer Vegetables & Tzatziki

Our Mediterranean-inspired chicken and vegetables get warming spice thanks to ras el hanout, a popular North African blend that highlights turmeric, cumin, and more. A dollop of cooling tzatziki finishes the meal on another bright, flavorful note.

Ingredients

  • 10 oz Chopped Chicken Breast
  • 1 c Yellow Couscous

Instructions

1
Cook the couscous

In a small pot, combine the couscous and 1 cup of water; season with salt and pepper. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, turn off the heat. Cover and let stand 6 to 8 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the couscous is tender. Fluff with a fork. Cover to keep warm.

2
Prepare the ingredients:

While the couscous cooks, wash and dry the tomatoes; quarter lengthwise. If necessary, peel the garlic; roughly chop. Halve the green beans crosswise.

3
Brown the chicken:

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; place in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and half the ras el hanout (you will have extra). Stir to thoroughly coat. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned.

4
Cook the vegetables & serve your dish:

Add the halved green beans to the pan; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the quartered tomatoes and chopped garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened and the chicken is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the cooked chicken and vegetables over the cooked couscous. Top with the tzatziki. Enjoy!
