Golden Pan-Seared Chicken and Zesty Couscous
Golden pan-seared chicken breast seasoned with aromatic spices served over a bed of fluffy, lemon-scented couscous and crisp sautéed vegetables.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
0.25 cup dry whole wheat couscous
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup zucchini
0.25 cup red bell pepper
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp paprika
0.5 cup water
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil, then stir in the dry couscous, cover with a lid, and remove from the heat to let it steam for 5 minutes.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken rests, heat the remaining teaspoon of olive oil in another skillet and sauté the diced zucchini and red bell pepper for 3 to 4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Fluff the steamed couscous with a fork and stir in the sautéed vegetables and fresh lemon juice.
Slice the chicken into strips and serve immediately over the vegetable couscous mixture.
