Number Of Ingredients 11

4 small boneless, skinless chicken-breast halves
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest, plus wedges for serving
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger (from a 1-inch piece)
8 ounces green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup packed cilantro leaves
1 cup couscous
3 mini cucumbers
3 cocktail tomatoes, such as Campari

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt, pepper, and zest. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large straight-sided skillet on high; add chicken and cook 4 minutes. Flip; add garlic, 1 teaspoon ginger, beans, and 1/3 cup water. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer until chicken is just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Coarsely chop cilantro.
  • Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add a pinch of salt and couscous; remove from heat, cover, and let stand 5 minutes. Cut cucumbers into 1/2-inch pieces and tomatoes into 1/2-inch wedges. Toss both with 1/4 cup cilantro and remaining 1 teaspoon ginger and 3 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Fluff couscous with a fork; stir in remaining 1/4 cup cilantro. Slice chicken; serve, with beans, cucumber salad, couscous, and lemon.
