Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/3 cups (about 7 ounces) pearl (Israeli) couscous
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Zest of 2 large lemons
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 large lemon)
2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
4 green onions, chopped
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 rotisserie chicken breast, chopped to yield 1 cup of meat

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the couscous and cook until lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broth, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until the couscous is tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
  • Stir in the cheese, green onions, peas and chicken. Spoon into bowls and serve.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less chili powder.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the chicken from this recipe. It was still very flavorful and satisfying.

I'm allergic to peas, so I substituted chopped carrots instead. The dish was still delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch of chicken on the weekend, and then I use it in this dish during the week.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my couscous turned out mushy. Maybe I added too much water?
