Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup of couscous
- 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 English cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup of Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
- 1/4 cup of red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup of fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup of feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour half of the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth to a boil. Stir in 1 cup of couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked couscous, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, Kalamata olives, red onion, and chopped parsley. Toss with the remaining marinade and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide the couscous mixture among 4 bowls, top with sliced grilled chicken, and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
