When all else fails, good old chicken is a reliable standby for dinner. In this case, chicken with couscous. You might be busy after work, cleaning, paying bills, working out, washing the kids, washing laundry, or maybe even yourself, but you still have time to cook dinner. No excuses. The meal pictured below took me no more than 15-20 minutes to prepare. No kidding. The couscous is a cinch. Equal parts water or broth/stock to couscous. You boil the water, add some butter and salt, turn off the heat and add the couscous. Cover with a lid and let sit for 5 minutes.
In the meantime, season the chicken (I used thighs) with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté on both sides for about 4 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat.
Fluff the couscous with a fork and serve with the chicken. Voila, dinner is done. And yes, for once, there is nothing green on the plate. Don't know how I managed to pull that off.
