Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Coarse salt
1 pound chicken cutlets
1 cup dry whole-wheat couscous
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger (from one 1/2-inch piece)
2 teaspoons safflower oil
10 ounces baby spinach (12 cups)
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine spices and 1 teaspoon salt; season chicken on both sides with all but 1/2 teaspoon of the spice mixture.
  • Working in batches, grill cutlets, 2 at a time, in a grill pan over medium-high heat, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip; reduce heat to medium. Grill until cooked through, about 2 minutes.
  • Prepare couscous according to package directions. Meanwhile, cook garlic and ginger in oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant and just golden, about 30 seconds. Stir in 6 cups spinach, the raisins, reserved 1/2 teaspoon spice mixture, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the water. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 seconds; push to side of skillet. Add remaining 6 cups spinach. Cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Slice chicken, and serve over spinach with couscous and yogurt.

Overall, this dish was good, but not great. The chicken was a bit dry and the couscous was not very flavorful. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. There were too many ingredients and steps involved. I think I would prefer a simpler recipe next time.

I had a hard time finding whole-wheat couscous, so I used regular couscous instead. The dish still turned out well, but I think it would have been better with the whole-wheat version.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. The chicken was a little dry and the couscous was not very flavorful. I think I would add more seasoning next time.
