I love one dish meals. This is an easy way to get the kids to eat their veggies. Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil |
2 lbs chicken breasts, boneless, skinless cut into 1 inch cubes |
1 (10 ounce) bag matchstick cut carrots |
2 medium onions, diced (i just throw them in the food processor) |
3 large garlic cloves, minced |
1 cup of cubed zucchini |
2 (13 3/4 ounce) cans chicken broth |
1 (10 ounce) box of quick cooking couscous |
2 teaspoons pepper sauce (i.e. tabasco) |
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup slivered almonds, toasted |
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional) |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over med-high heat.
2. Add chicken and cook until well browned on all sides.
3. With a slotted spoon, remove chicken to a plate.
4. Reduce heat to medium. Cook carrots, zucchini, and onions in drippings for 5 minutes.
5. Add garlic and cook 2 minutes more, stirring frequently.
6. Grab a pot because this makes a lot. Transfer your carrots, zucchini, and onions to it.
7. Stir chicken broth, pepper sauce, curry powder, salt and chicken.
8. Bring to a boil, add couscous, cover and remove from heat for 5 minutes.
9. Stir in almonds and parsley.
