Spicy Orange Chicken With Cucumber Couscous
José Picayo
How to Make It
Step 1
Cook the couscous according to the package directions. Spread on a plate and let cool.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with ¼ teaspoon each salt and black pepper and cook until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes per side.
Step 3
Transfer the couscous to a medium bowl and gently toss with the cucumber, cherries, parsley, vinegar, 2 tablespoons of the remaining oil, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and black pepper.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the marmalade, orange juice, crushed red pepper, the remaining tablespoon of oil, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Serve the chicken with the couscous salad and drizzle with the marmalade sauce.

Yummy. But sweet, not spicy. Did the chicken on the grill since I pan-frying never works for me and chicken breast.

This was great! And super easy. And if you forget dried cherries at the grocery store, like I did, raisins work just as well.

Chicken was so good. We really loved the cucumber cous cous. NOTE: We used "pearl cous cous" which is bigger and has a more pleasant texture. I also think it is more visually appealing. Will make the cucumber cous cous again for sure. It was so good. Thanks, Real Simple!
