Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 whole small skinless boneless chicken breast (1/2 pound total), halved
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup couscous
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Accompaniment if desired: Carrot, Snow Pea, and Red Pepper Julienne in Honey Vinaigrette

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste. On a plate combine mustard seeds and parsley and press chicken into seed mixture, coating both sides.
  • In a small saucepan bring 3/4 cup water and salt to a boil. Stir in couscous and let stand, covered, off heat 5 minutes.
  • In a non-stick skillet heat butter over moderate heat until foam subsides and cook chicken on 1 side until golden, about 5 minutes. Turn chicken and cook, covered, over moderately low heat until just cooked through, about 5 minutes.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices to the chicken marinade.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. The mustard seed crust is a great way to add flavor to the chicken, and the couscous is a great side dish.

I'm not a big fan of mustard, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm so glad I did! The mustard seed crust was not overpowering at all and it added a nice depth of flavor to the chicken. The couscous was also very good.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the mustard seed crust was very flavorful. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

I'm not a fan of couscous, so I served the chicken with roasted vegetables instead. The chicken was still very good, and the mustard seed crust added a nice flavor. The roasted vegetables were also a great addition.

I made a few changes to the recipe. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of thighs, and I added a bit of Dijon mustard to the marinade. The chicken turned out great and the mustard seed crust was still very flavorful.
