CHERRY BALSAMIC CHICKEN WITH ALMOND COUSCOUS & ROASTED CARROTS
We like to think of chicken as the ultimate blank canvas that can be painted with allllll the flavors. Tonight's palette: A saucy coating that includes glossy cherry jam and balsamic pan sauce-because why choose one of these ingredients when you can have both? Also on the mood board: a side of almond-studded couscous and roasted carrots. Paint it all together and you have yourself a dinner to Remem-brandt. (See what we did there?)
