Cooking instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Place the oven-proof skillet on medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, then preheat the pan for 3 minutes. Carefully place the marinated chicken in the pan. Sauté for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to brown all sides.
- Add the onion-garlic oil to the pan and stir for 30 seconds. Then, add the dried couscous. Stir well to coat with oil, then sauté for 2 minutes to toast the couscous. Lastly, stir in the chicken broth. Remove the pan from the burner and turn off the heat.
- Wash the lemon and cut into 8 thin slices. Spread the slices on top of the chicken couscous mix, then lay them on the thyme sprig. Place the skillet in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the couscous has absorbed most of the chicken broth. (Chef's tip: taste a small spoonful of couscous after 10 minutes to check doneness. For a softer texture, add two tablespoons of water and leave it in the oven for an extra 2-3 minutes.) Remove the skillet from the oven, and then turn off all heating elements.
- For plating, Discard the lemon and thyme. Stir the spinach into the hot couscous until just wilted. Spoon the mixture on two plates or shallow bowls, then top with a spoonful of chunky tapenade. Enjoy!
