INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/3 cup Chickpeas
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Couscous
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Thyme)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Rinse and pat dry the chicken breast.
In a small bowl, mix lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Marinate the chicken breast for at least 20 minutes while you prepare the chickpeas and couscous.
Rinse and drain chickpeas. Toss them with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a tiny drizzle of olive oil if desired. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy, shaking the pan halfway through.
Meanwhile, prepare the whole wheat couscous according to package instructions, typically by steaming or boiling with water for about 5-7 minutes until fluffy.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated chicken breast for about 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown on the outside.
Plate the dish by slicing the chicken breast, placing a serving of couscous on the side, and topping with a portion of roasted chickpeas. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
