THESE MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN AND COUSCOUS BOWLS ARE ENDLESSLY ADAPTABLE
These quick chicken-and-veggie bowls are endlessly adaptable depending on what you have on hand. Beyond cucumber and tomato, you could try thinly sliced carrots, steamed broccoli florets and zucchini, or roasted cauliflower. You could also sub flaked salmon or sliced cooked lamb for the chicken. Treat the couscous like pasta, simmering until tender and then draining. Unlike most pastas, you'll want to rinse and drain the couscous so the grains don't clump together.

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN AND COUSCOUS
From a Near East booklet. A fairly easy gourmet tasting dish. We thought the pine nuts were bitter, which was disappointing since they are so expensive. I'll leave them out next time I make the dish.

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN COUSCOUS
From January 2006 Southern Living. We had this for dinner last night. At first taste, I thought it was just okay; by the time I got it to the table, though, it tasted really good. I had the leftovers cold for lunch today, and it was just as good as last night. I used about 2 oz of feta, and I used a deli-roasted chicken.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs. Mediterranean cuisine is known for its bold flavors, so don't be afraid to add a little something extra to your dish.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken is dry and tough, so make sure to cook it just until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Fluff the couscous before serving. This will help to separate the grains and make it light and fluffy.
- Serve the chicken and couscous with your favorite Mediterranean toppings. Some popular options include tzatziki sauce, hummus, feta cheese, and olives.
Conclusion:
Mediterranean chicken and couscous bowls are a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal. They're perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a casual weekend lunch. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will love.
