Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups couscous
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup cooked chickpeas
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Sauté the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, season it generously with cumin, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Sauté until the chicken is beautifully browned and cooked through—about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Prepare the couscous: In a separate pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Stir in the couscous, then remove the pot from heat. Cover it and let the couscous sit for about 5 minutes. Once done, fluff with a fork to separate the grains.
  3. Mix the salad base: In a large bowl, combine the fluffed couscous, cooked chickpeas, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, finely chopped red onion, and parsley. Give everything a gentle toss to mix the ingredients.
  4. Combine and toss: Once the salad mixture is ready, place the cooked chicken on top. Carefully toss everything together, ensuring that each ingredient is coated with the flavors.
  5. Serve with a zing: Serve the colorful couscous bowl with refreshing lemon wedges on the side for a zesty kick. Squeeze the lemon over the bowl just before indulging for an extra layer of flavor!

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat with a splash of water or broth to keep the couscous fluffy.
