Chicken Thighs And Couscous Recipe With Steamed Cauliflower & Salad With Feta
This dinner can be prepared in 20 minutes if you are quick and efficient in the kitchen.If you are not, you know what I say: 1) take a cooking class, and 2) the more you cook, the better you get.
Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 4-6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon Shawarma seasoning, optional (available at Mediterranean stores. Or use more cumin, turmeric, and thyme)
- Salt
- Pepper
- Evoo (extra virgin olive oil)
For the Israeli couscous:
- 1 tablespoon Evoo (extra virgin olive oil)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¼ cup onion, minced
- 1 box Israeli couscous
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups boiling water
For steamed cauliflower:
- 1 medium size cauliflower, cut to florets
- Salt
- 1 garlic clove, whole, slightly crushed, optional
- 3 sprigs thyme, optional
Salad with feta:
- See “Simplest salad” + add crumbled feta.
Instructions
For the chicken:
- Rub chicken with spices, salt, pepper and a drizzle of evoo.
- Reheat 10-12’’ stainless steel skillet over medium heat. Sear one side of chicken for about 4 minutes until browned, turn on the other side and sear another 4 minutes. Turn heat to medium-low, turn from side to side every few minutes until done. It will take about 20 minutes or so. (You can also grill the chicken).
For the Israeli couscous:
- In a small pot, sauté the onion with evoo and butter until translucent and soft. Add couscous, salt, and boiling water. Mix and cover the pot. Cook over low heat 8-10 minutes until al dente.
For steamed cauliflower:
- In a small steaming pot add 2’’ water, and garlic and thyme, if using. Bring to boil. Put the cauliflower in the steam basket, salt lightly, cover and cook about 8 minutes (I forgot to measure the time. I think this is what it took).
