Cook the couscous in a mixture of chicken broth and lime to add a zesty flavor to this dish. Couscous is a grain-like ingredient that's similar to pasta and one of the easiest dishes that you can make. Then season chicken with oil, garlic and fennel seeds before grilling. Be sure to cut the chicken into equal-sized pieces so that they will cook evenly. Add these vegetables to the couscous after it is fluffed: halved cherry tomatoes, steamed diced zucchini, steamed broccoli florets, or chopped roasted bell pepper.
Ingredients
Reduced sodium chicken broth
1 cup(s)
Unsweetened lime juice
1 Tbsp
Uncooked whole wheat couscous
1 cup(s)
Cilantro
2 Tbsp, fresh, chopped
Lime zest
2 tsp, grated
Uncooked skinless boneless chicken breast
1½ pound(s), cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
Garlic
3 clove(s), minced
Fennel seeds
1½ Tbsp, crushed
Olive oil
2 tsp
Table salt
½ tsp
Instructions
1
Spray the broiler rack with nonstick spray and preheat the broiler.
2
Bring the broth and lime juice to a boil in a medium saucepan; add the couscous, cilantro, and lime zest. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Let stand, covered, 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork; keep warm.
3
Combine the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl and toss to coat the chicken evenly. Thread the chicken on 4 (10- to 12-inch) metal skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak in water 30 minutes) dividing it evenly. Place the skewers on the broiler rack and broil 5 inches from the heat, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 8 minutes. Serve with the couscous. Yields 1 kebab and 3/4 cup couscous per serving.
