Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 zucchini medium
- 1 ¾ cup Israeli couscous giant or pearl couscous
- 4 ¾ cups chicken stock
- 1 lb chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 1 lemon organic
- 1 cup peas frozen
- ½ cup parmesan freshly grated + some extra to serve
- sea salt fine
- black pepper fine
Instructions
- Cook zucchini: Halve the zucchini lengthwise and chop the halves into pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet. Fry the zucchini until golden but still crunchy, remove from the skillet and set aside. While the zucchini cooks, chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Toast couscous: Heat the second tablespoon of olive oil in the same skillet. Add the Israeli couscous and toast the grains, stirring, for one or two minutes, until lightly browned.
- Simmer: Add the chicken stock, chicken pieces, lemon zest and juice, and frozen peas. Bring to a simmer and cook on medium-low heat for about 10 – 13 minutes, until the couscous and the chicken are cooked through.
- Combine: Carefully stir in the zucchini and heat everything for another 2-3 minutes. Adjust the taste with salt and pepper and stir in the Parmesan. Serve immediately with more grated Parmesan and a green, crunchy salad with radishes.
