Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon olive oil
¼ cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon olive oil
½ pound shiitake mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon olive oil
½ pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 ¼ cups fat-free chicken broth
3 cups ( lightly packed) baby arugula, very coarsely chopped
1 (5.9 ounce) package Parmesan-flavored couscous
¼ cup chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Place a saucepan over medium heat for about 1 minute and pour olive oil into hot pan. Cook and stir walnuts in hot oil until lightly browned and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer walnuts to a bowl.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in same pan; cook and stir shiitake mushrooms until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove mushrooms from pan. Add 1 more teaspoon olive oil to pan; cook and stir chicken and garlic until chicken is browned and meat is no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour chicken broth into chicken mixture, add arugula, and stir contents of couscous seasoning packet into mixture; bring to a boil and simmer for 1 minute. Stir couscous into mixture, cover pan, and remove from heat. Let stand until liquid has been absorbed and couscous is tender, about 5 minutes. Add walnuts and basil, lightly fluff couscous with a fork to combine, and serve.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the dish turned out a bit too oily for my taste. I think I will reduce the amount of olive oil next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I will use less red pepper flakes next time.

I made this dish with brown rice instead of couscous and it turned out great! I also added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.

This dish was a bit too salty for me. I think I will reduce the amount of salt next time.

The chicken was a little dry, but the couscous was delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would marinate the chicken beforehand.
