Instructions
- Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a small saucepan. Once boiling, turn the heat off and stir in the couscous and peas. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
- While the couscous is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and swirl in the olive oil. Add the bell pepper and kielbasa to the pan, arranging them in a single layer as much as possible. Allow to brown for 5 minutes undisturbed. Add the chicken pieces, garlic, salt, thyme, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Turn the heat off.
- Fluff the cooked couscous with a fork and transfer it to the skillet along with the halved tomatoes. Use a wooden spoon to fold the ingredients together. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.
