MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN AND COUSCOUS

From a Near East booklet. A fairly easy gourmet tasting dish. We thought the pine nuts were bitter, which was disappointing since they are so expensive. I'll leave them out next time I make the dish.

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken and garlic and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently or until the chicken is no longer pink. Add the spinach during the last 1-2 minutes of cooking chicken.
  • Stir in water, tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and spice pack from couscous. Bring to a boil.
  • Stir in couscous. Cover and remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes.
  • Stir with a fork to fluff couscous. Stir in feta cheese and pine nuts if using. Serve.

1 (5 5/8 ounce) package near east roasted garlic & olive oil couscous
2 tablespoons olive oil (I used the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes)
1/2-1 lb raw boneless skinless chicken breast (about 2)
1 garlic clove, minced
2 cups Baby Spinach
1 1/3 cups water
1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomato packed in oil, drained
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (I only use 1/4 tsp.)
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts (optional)

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN COUSCOUS

From January 2006 Southern Living. We had this for dinner last night. At first taste, I thought it was just okay; by the time I got it to the table, though, it tasted really good. I had the leftovers cold for lunch today, and it was just as good as last night. I used about 2 oz of feta, and I used a deli-roasted chicken.

Steps:

  • Bring broth to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the couscous. Cover and remove from the heat. Let stand 5 minutes.
  • While couscous cooks, combine red pepper and green onions in a bow. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave on High for 4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender. Drain and sprinkle with garlic powder.
  • Fluff couscous with a fork. Add couscous, chicken, vinegar and basil to the cooked vegetables. Toss well. Cover with the plastic wrap and microwave on High for 1 - 2 minutes or until heated. Toss again and serve immediately.
  • 5 servings, 5 POINTS each.
  • The vinegar sounds strange, but it gives a nice Middle Eastern tang to the dish. Otherwise it would be pretty bland.

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the pine nuts in a single layer on an ungreased, rimmed baking sheet. Toast in the oven until fragrant and lightly golden, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Keep and eye on them and DO NOT WALK AWAY during the last few minutes to make sure those precious pine nuts do not burn. Immediately transfer to a bowl to stop their cooking and to make sure the hot pan doesn't burn them once they are out of the oven.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 3 minutes, until they begin to soften. Add the salt, pepper, and cumin and cook 30 seconds. Pour in the broth. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil.
  • As soon as the liquid begins to boil, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the couscous, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • With a fork, fluff up the couscous. Add the raisins, parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, and toasted pine nuts to the pot, then stir the ingredients together to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Enjoy hot.
