recipe

  • Step 1
    Clean & thinly slice the mushrooms.
  • Step 2
    Wash & slice the bell pepper into thin strips.
  • Step 3
    Heat a drizzle of oil in a skillet on medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms & bell pepper. Season with salt & pepper. Stir & cook for 6-7 min, until the veggies are cooked & nicely browned.
  • Step 4
    Meanwhile, season the chicken with salt, pepper & any other spices, we suggest onion powder & paprika.
  • Step 5
    Remove the veggies from the pan & set aside. Add another drizzle of oil in the pan & add the chicken. Sear the chicken undisturbed on one side for 6-7 min.
  • Step 6
    Meanwhile, add the couscous to boiling water & cook according to package directions. Season with salt, pepper & a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Step 7
    Flip the chicken & cook on the second side for 5 min. Then, add the cheese overtop. Cover & cook for another 3-4 min or until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temp reaches 165°F).
  • Step 8
    Slice the cheesy chicken & plate alongside the couscous & veggies. Enjoy!
