Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Asian Chicken and Greens Couscous.
Step 1
Start by warming 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the diced onion and sauté it until it becomes slightly tender, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 3
Next, add the chicken tenders to the skillet, seasoning them generously with garlic salt and cracked black pepper.
Step 4
Cover the skillet and let the chicken cook until it’s beautifully browned on one side, roughly 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 5
Flip the chicken over, sprinkle some seasoning on the other side, and continue cooking until it’s fully cooked through.
Step 6
Once done, transfer the chicken and onions to a cutting board and chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces, perfect for mixing into your dish.
Step 7
In the same skillet, stir in the chopped bok choy.
Step 8
Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the skillet, and let the greens cook until they’re just tender, which should take about 1.
Step 9
5 minutes.
Step 10
While the bok choy is cooking, grab a separate saucepan and bring 1 1/3 cups of water to a rolling boil.
Step 11
Once boiling, remove it from the heat and stir in the couscous spice packet along with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 12
Add the couscous, cover the saucepan, and let it sit undisturbed until the water is completely absorbed, about 10 minutes.
Step 13
When the time is up, fluff the couscous with a fork to make it light and airy.
Step 14
Now it’s time to bring everything together! On each plate, spoon a generous portion of the fluffy couscous, then top it with the sautéed bok choy, the chopped chicken, and the onions.
Step 15
For a pop of color and flavor, garnish your dish with halved cherry tomatoes and a sprinkle of grated Mizithra cheese.
Step 16
Enjoy this delightful meal that’s not only delicious but also packed with vibrant flavors and textures!.
