Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked pearled couscous
- 2 teaspoons vegetable broth concentrate
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- pinch sugar
- kosher salt to taste
- cracked black pepper to taste
- 2.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 6 tablespoons Maille® Dijon Originale Mustard
- ¾ cup pistachios chopped
- 2.5 cups seedless cucumber diced
- 1.25 cups Roma tomato seeded and diced
- ⅓ cup Jalapeño seeded and diced
- 2 heaping tablespoons shallot minced
- 1 heaping tablespoon mint minced
- 2 teaspoons lime zest
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Prepare couscous according to package instructions, adding the vegetable broth concentrate to the water before cooking. Once cooked, stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil, the red wine vinegar, and a pinch of sugar. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Pat dry chicken breast and trim into 6 equal portions, pounded to equal thickness. Brush with a light layer of Maille Dijon Originale Mustard, then top with the crushed pistachios, pressing them down into the dijon. Play chicken on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until meat thermometer registers 165 degrees. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- While couscous and chicken cook, add the cucumber, tomato, jalapeno, shallot, mint, lime zest and juice to a bowl. Toss gently to combine, then drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss once more.
- Divide the couscous between 6 plates, then top with sliced chicken and a heaping portion of the cucumber salad. Serve immediately.
