Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
2 tablespoons apricot preserves
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 cup uncooked couscous
2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted if desired

Steps:

  • Set oven control to broil. Spray rack in broiler pan with cooking spray. To flatten each chicken breast, place between 2 pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper. Working from center, gently pound chicken with rolling pin or flat side of meat mallet until 1/4 inch thick.
  • In small bowl, mix garlic powder, pepper and ground red pepper. Sprinkle on both sides of chicken; place on rack in pan.
  • Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat 5 to 7 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Brush with half of apricot preserves; broil 1 minute longer or until preserves are bubbly. Brush with remaining preserves before serving.
  • Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, heat broth and butter to boiling. Stir in couscous and almonds. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff couscous with fork before serving with glazed chicken.

This recipe was a complete disaster. The chicken was burnt and the couscous was mushy. I'll never make this dish again.

I didn't like the flavor of the apricot glaze. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler chicken recipe next time.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the couscous was delicious. I think I'll try a different chicken recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I just used too much apricot jam. Next time I'll use less.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe and it still turned out great. I used brown rice instead of couscous and added some chopped walnuts.

I'm not a big fan of couscous, but this dish changed my mind. The almond couscous was delicious and really complemented the chicken.

I'm always looking for new chicken recipes, and this one definitely didn't disappoint. The chicken was juicy and tender, and the almond couscous was a great addition.

This apricot glazed chicken with almond couscous was a hit with my family! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the couscous was perfectly cooked. The apricot glaze added a delicious sweetness to the dish.
