Chicken and Veggie Couscous

Jencathen's Note:

I love one dish meals. This is an easy way to get the kids to eat their veggies.

• Total Time: 45 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• ¼ cup olive oil
• 2 lbs chicken breasts , boneless, skinless cut into 1 inch cubes
• 1 (10 ounce) bag matchstick cut carrots
• 2 medium onions , diced (I just throw them in the food processor)
• 3 large garlic cloves , minced
• 1 cup of cubed zucchini
• 2 (13 ¾ ounce) cans chicken broth
• 1 (10 ounce) box of quick cooking couscous
• 2 teaspoons pepper sauce (i.e. Tabasco)
• 1 ½ teaspoons curry powder
• ½ teaspoon salt

• ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions:

1. Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over med-high heat.
2. Add chicken and cook until well browned on all sides.
3. With a slotted spoon, remove chicken to a plate.
4. Reduce heat to medium. Cook carrots, zucchini, and onions in drippings for 5 minutes.
5. Add garlic and cook 2 minutes more, stirring frequently.
6. Grab a pot because this makes a lot. Transfer your carrots, zucchini, and onions to it.
7. Stir chicken broth, pepper sauce, curry powder, salt and chicken.
8. Bring to a boil, add couscous, cover and remove from heat for 5 minutes.
9. Stir in almonds and parsley.

Delicious! I used left over grilled chicken and yellow squash. The flavors were wonderful and the almonds were a really nice crunch. Thanks for sharing!
