Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup orange juice
- 2 teaspoons chicken granules
- 1 cup couscous plain
- 1 lb chicken breasts cooked
- 1 can mandarin oranges drained
- parsley
Instructions
- This recipe is great for using up leftover chicken that was grilled or smoked ahead. If you don't have pre-cooked chicken, no worries. Simply cook your chicken by grilling, smoking, or boiling. If you want to boil the chicken I suggest doing so in additional orange juice for added flavor. Make sure your chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 F.
- In saucepan, heat the orange juice and granules to a boi. Stir in the couscous then immediately cover and remove from heat. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid and fluff with pasta with a fork.
- I like to plate this individually by putting equal portions of couscous on four plates. Top each pile of cous cous with a cooked chicken breast. Top with mandarin oranges and garnish with parsley. Serve with green beans or a side salad.
