I got this recipe off of the allrecipes website (I know, I know, traitor!) and altered it a little. My family seemed to enjoy it, so I think it's a keeper.
Small disclaimer: I've only made this recipe once and I was altering it from the one I found online, so I apologize if the steps below don't flow as well as they could...I think this is also the kind of recipe that could be made a little differently every time you make it, but these types of recipes are my favorite b/c they're usually quite forgiving. :)
Ingredients:
2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into chunks
olive oil
minced garlic
1/2 onion chopped fine
box of original, plain couscous (make according to box directions...super easy)
box of chicken broth
sm pkg of sliced mushrooms (fresh, not canned)
1/2 a bag of washed spinach leaves
crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Steps:
1. Heat olive oil in a skillet with the onions and minced garlic(I think I used approx. 2 tsps) Cook until onion has softened and turned translucent
2. Cook the couscous according to box directions substituting in 2C chicken broth instead of the water it calls for
3. Cook the chicken in the skillet with the onions & garlic (I seasoned my chicken, like I season most everything with lots of s/p & garlic salt)
4. At this point I took the chicken/garlic/onion mixture and put it in a bowl to the side--I then sauteed the mushrooms & spinach leaves in the same skillet, using "I can't Believe It's Not Butter" spray, but you could use more olive oil or just regular butter or whatever. Saute until they are cooked down.
5. Add back in the cooked couscous & chicken and stir it all together
6. Serve it up in a bowl and top it with Feta cheese, if you're fan of this, (or Parmesan or whatever you prefer--it's also pretty good just plain)
Enjoy!
