Steps to cook

9 steps · 18 min cook

Prepare the ingredients. Prepare all the ingredients - we will be cooking with them in a moment 🍗✨
Tenderize the chicken. Lightly pound the chicken breasts with a meat mallet so they cook evenly.
Marinate the meat. In a bowl, mix olive oil, oregano, ground paprika, salt, and pepper, coat the chicken breasts with the mixture, and let marinate for at least a few minutes, ideally several hours.
Prepare the couscous. Place the couscous in a bowl, pour over hot bouillon dissolved in water (or use stock if you have it), cover, and let stand for 5-7 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
Sear the chicken. Heat a pan and sear the chicken breasts over medium heat for about 5-6 minutes on each side, then let the meat rest for 2-3 minutes and slice it.
Cut the vegetables. Cut the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion into small pieces.
Mix the salad. Add the chopped vegetables, lemon juice, and olive oil to the couscous, mix, and season with salt, pepper, and optionally chopped mint or parsley.
Serve with the chicken. Serve the couscous on a plate first and arrange the slices of chicken meat on top.
Garnish and season. Drizzle with lemon juice and serve 🍽️✨
