Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Rosemary Chicken Couscous Salad Bowl.
Step 1
Start by bringing a saucepan of chicken broth to a lively boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once it’s bubbling, stir in the couscous, then take the pan off the heat.
Step 3
Cover it up and let it sit for about five minutes, allowing the couscous to absorb all that delicious broth.
Step 4
After the time is up, grab a fork and fluff the couscous to perfection, then set it aside to cool for ten minutes.
Step 5
While the couscous is cooling, let’s whip up a zesty dressing! In a blender or food processor, combine some olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and white balsamic vinegar.
Step 6
Blend on low until the mixture thickens beautifully, then fold in the chopped rosemary for that aromatic touch.
Step 7
Don’t forget to season it with a pinch of salt and pepper to elevate the flavors.
Step 8
Now, in a large bowl, mix together your cooked chicken, diced cucumber, sun-dried tomatoes, and kalamata olives.
Step 9
Gently fold in the cooled couscous, crumbled feta cheese, and fresh parsley.
Step 10
Season this vibrant mixture with a little more salt and pepper, then drizzle in half of your homemade dressing.
Step 11
Toss everything together until it’s well combined, and feel free to adjust the dressing to your liking—add more if you want an extra kick! If you’re prepping this dish ahead of time, just remember to add a splash more dressing right before serving to keep it fresh and flavorful.
Step 12
Enjoy your delightful creation!.
