Chicken and Spinach Couscous image

I bought some Israeli couscous at the store, and put some ingredients together that sounded good, including chicken... It turned out great! Serve ingredients as layers or just mix together.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

olive oil, divided
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup pine nuts
1 pound fresh spinach, rinsed and patted dry
8 ounces Israeli couscous
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped parsley, or to taste
1 pinch ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook chicken until no longer pink in the center but not browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a dish.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add pine nuts; cook and stir until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove pine nuts to another dish. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet; cook spinach until wilted, about 3 minutes. Transfer spinach to a separate dish.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in the same skillet. Add couscous; cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Pour in chicken broth; bring to a simmer. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until couscous is tender, about 12 minutes. Uncover; add parsley and pepper. Stir. Layer couscous, chicken, spinach, and pine nuts onto a plate in that order.

This dish was a bit too dry for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the couscous was fluffy and flavorful. I would definitely make this again, but I would add more liquid, such as chicken broth or water.
