I found some honey marinated chicken from the freezer so i thought i should use it off. This is once again one of those really easy recipes. That seems to be becoming some kind of a motto for me. There's enough chicken sauce for two meals and you can either make more fresh couscous when you're eating the other half or make for example pasta, which i often make with this chicken sauce. Providing of course that you intend to eat alone.
Chicken sauce:
- 300 g honey marinated chicken
- 2 dl cooking cream
- mini carrots / green beans / paprika etc.
- black pepper
- thyme
- parsley
Fry the chicken until it's cooked and mix in the cream. Throw in also the chopped vegetables of your choice. I only found some mini carrots from my freezer so i used those. Season with some spices. Leave on low heat and make the couscous while the sauce simmers.
Vegetable couscous (for one)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 dl water
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 dl couscous
- 1 tsp margarine
- drizzle of balsamic vinegar
- red onion
- celery
- green beans
(- paprika etc.)
Bring the water, oil and spices to a boil in a saucepan. Add the vegetables and let boil for a minute. Take the saucepan off the heat and mix in the couscous, margarine and vinegar. Let the couscous suck up the moisture and get soft and it's done.
I often make just the couscous as a quick meal by adding for example some shrimp in with the veggies.
Here's my lunch:
