Moroccan chicken
MAKES 2 SERVINGS
2 (6-ounce) skinless chicken breasts
1 (7-ounce) container nonfat Greek yogurt
1 clove garlic, minced
Juice from 2 lemons
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne
2 teaspoons paprika
½ bunch cilantro, chopped
6 sprigs mint, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup couscous
1 cup chicken broth
Salt to taste
Extra virgin olive oil (optional)
5 Roma tomatoes, chopped
½ onion, finely diced
Salt and white pepper to taste
12 mushrooms, quartered
½ cup cooked chickpeas
2 cloves garlic, minced
For marinade: Combine Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, cayenne and paprika. Place chicken in half of marinade. Add chopped cilantro and mint to the other half of marinade; refrigerate for later. Marinate the chicken for 2 to 4 hours. Remove chicken from marinade, season with salt and pepper; broil or grill chicken breasts until juices run clear.
For couscous: Put couscous in stainless steel bowl. In saucepan, bring broth to boil; pour broth over couscous. Season with salt and cover tightly, keeping in a warm place. When the broth is absorbed, fluff couscous with a fork. You can drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil for flavor (but that will increase calorie and fat level).
For tomato stew: Place tomatoes and onion in medium saucepan on low heat; bring to a simmer. Season with salt and white pepper. When onions are almost cooked, add mushrooms and chickpeas; simmer until mushrooms are cooked. The later you add the garlic, the more intense the flavor will be. Adjust seasoning.
To assemble: With a spoon, divide couscous on two plates. Pour tomato stew over couscous, top with broiled or grilled chicken. Drizzle with marinade containing chopped cilantro and mint.
