Couscous With Chicken And Vegetables Recipe

Cook the Couscous

In a medium-sized pot, bring 1 and 1/2 cups of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and 1 cup of couscous. Stir well, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Prepare the Chicken

While the couscous is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into strips. Season with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of paprika. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

Cook the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Add 1 chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 diced bell pepper, 1 sliced zucchini, and 1 cup of cherry tomatoes. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Combine Ingredients

Add the cooked couscous to the skillet with the vegetables and chicken. Toss everything together until well combined. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, and add a handful of fresh chopped parsley for garnish.

Serve

Spoon the couscous, chicken, and vegetable mixture onto plates. Serve hot and enjoy!
