I was trying to come up with something new to do with chicken breast that had both sweet, spicy and salty flavors. The ingredients are a bit different, but my entire family loved the results. This recipe was very quick to make. Adjust the spicy sauce and maple syrup to your tastes. Ingredients:
1 lb chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes |
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil |
1 tablespoon butter |
1/4 cup maple syrup |
1 -2 tablespoon hot chili sauce (such as sriracha) |
1 cup orange juice |
1 cup couscous |
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped |
1/2 cup apple, like gala, cut into small cubes |
salt & pepper |
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil and butter in large skilet pver medium-hot heat.
2. Add chicken and cook until pieces start to brown slightly.
3. Add maple syrup and siracha, stir to mix well.
4. As chicken is cooking heat orange juice in the microwave in a 2 cup glass measuring dish until just boiling, remove from microwave. Add cous cous and cover lightly with plastic wrap. Wait 5 minutes for cous cous to sit.
5. Add orange juice/cous cous mixture to the chicken dish. If cous cous seems dry, add a bit more orange juice to the skillet.
6. Once chicken is cooked to the proper temperature, remove the pan from heat and add the chopped walnuts, apples and salt and pepper to taste.
