Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup Moroccan couscous
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped green bell pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon canola oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (3 ounces each)
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup Japanese rice vinegar
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/2 head romaine
1/2 head frisée
1/2 head hydro Bibb lettuce
1 cup arugula
1/2 mango, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine couscous, bell peppers, onion, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/3 cup water. Season with salt.
  • Refrigerate until couscous is tender, about 2 hours.
  • In a large skillet over high heat, heat canola oil. Cook chicken until golden brown on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Flip chicken and cook through, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Cool chicken; cut into 1/2-inch dice.
  • In a blender set to medium, blend lime juice, vinegar, mustard, honey and soy sauce. Slowly add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt.
  • Break up lettuce heads and combine leaves with arugula in a bowl. Divide lettuce, couscous, chicken and mango among 4 plates. Dress salad with mustard vinaigrette.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the flavors were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out too dry. I think I may have overcooked the couscous.

I added some chopped avocado to my salad for an extra boost of creaminess. It was delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great option for meal prep, as it holds up well in the refrigerator for several days.

I'm not a big fan of mango, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it! The mango added a subtle sweetness that complemented the chicken and couscous perfectly.
