Lemon Herb Chicken with Couscous and Cucumber Salad

Lemon Herb Chicken with Couscous and Cucumber Salad
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt, divided
  • 1 (10 ounce) box couscous
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 4 (4 ounce) thinly sliced skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 pinch sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 2 large vine-ripened tomatoes
  • 1 English cucumber, chopped
  • 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup chopped pitted Kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley


  1. Bring chicken broth and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in couscous. Remove from heat; cover and let stand until broth is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Uncover and fluff with a fork.
  2. Whisk 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, and oregano together in a bowl to make dressing.
  3. Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish. Drizzle 1/4 cup dressing on top. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts; cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  5. Place 3 tablespoons dressing in a large bowl; stir in sugar. Add tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion; toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Add feta cheese and toss again.
  6. Drizzle remaining dressing over couscous and fold in olives. Divide couscous among 4 plates. Slice chicken breasts and place on top. Serve tomato salad on the side. Sprinkle parsley over each plate.
