Ingredients
Couscous
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 cup dry couscous
Toppings
- 1 broccoli crown, cut into florets
- 1 medium red onion, diced
- ½ cucumber, peeled and diced
- 2 roma tomatoes, diced
- ½ cup chopped Kalamata olives, or to taste
- ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 (4 ounce) package crumbled feta cheese, or to taste
Tzatziki Sauce
- ½ cucumber, peeled and shredded
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Chicken
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ½ lemon, juiced
Directions
Step 1
Mix rosemary, black pepper, salt, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, cardamom, and coriander together in a small bowl. Place chicken on a plate and season with spice mixture. Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat until it starts to shimmer, 2 to 3 minutes. Add seasoned chicken to the pan and cook, covered, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip chicken over and cook, uncovered, until browned on the outside and no longer pink on the inside, 5 to 6 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Squeeze lemon juice over chicken and allow to cool 5 minutes. Slice into strips.
Step 2
While chicken cooks, bring water to a boil in a saucepan and add salt to taste. Add couscous, stir once, and cover. Remove saucepan from heat and let couscous steam for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Step 3
Mix cucumber, sour cream, yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, mint, dill, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl until tzatziki sauce is just combined.
Step 4
Divide cooked couscous between 4 bowls. Top with cooked chicken, tzatziki sauce, broccoli, onion, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, parsley, and feta cheese. Serve immediately or store in airtight containers to reheat later.
