Chicken Skewers with Couscous and Green Beans

Prepare the ingredients. This is what will be on your plate – prepare the ingredients in advance so the work goes smoothly 🥗🍗

Boil the water. Bring water to a boil in a pot or electric kettle.

Pour over the couscous. Put the couscous into a bowl and pour over hot water (follow the package instructions, or use a 1 : 2 ratio). Cover the bowl and let the couscous stand so it absorbs the liquid. If you like, you can season it with a little grated garlic or a small amount of tomato paste.

Cut the tomatoes. Cut the chicken into strips. Season with salt, pepper, ground paprika and oil. Mix everything and thread onto skewers.

Cook the chicken skewers. Sear the chicken skewers in a hot pan over medium heat for about 3–4 minutes on each side. Before removing from the pan, check that the meat is cooked through, then remove the skewers and set aside.

Season the couscous. Meanwhile, while the skewers are cooking, fluff the couscous with a fork, drizzle with lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Prepare the yogurt dip. Place the yogurt in a bowl, season it with salt and pepper and drizzle a few drops of olive oil. Stir until smooth.

Sear the beans. Reheat the pan where you cooked the chicken, increase to higher heat, optionally add a few drops of oil, and quickly sear the beans for about 1-2 minutes so they remain slightly crisp.

Arrange on the plate. Divide the couscous among plates, add the seared beans and chicken skewers. Top with the seasoned yogurt and, if desired, sprinkle with smoked paprika.

Serve. Serve immediately 🍽️✨
