Sweet Honey Balsamic Chicken Couscous
A sweet chicken couscous dish that is easy to prepare and store.
Servings 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1-1.5 lb chicken
- 2 cups uncooked couscous
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp oil of choice we use olive or avocado
- 1/2 teaspoon lite soy sauce.
- 1/2 cup walnuts or nuts
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1 can (15 oz) mandarin oranges drained and chopped in half
Instructions
- First, cook chicken with your preferred method. I like to use chicken tenderloins and poach them. When chicken is cooked, shred it using a fork.
- Also, cook the couscous according to package directions. 2 cups of uncooked couscous made about 4 cups cooked couscous for me.
- Meanwhile, make honey balsamic mixture by adding balsamic vinegar, honey, oil (I used olive), and soy sauce together.
- To a large bowl, add nuts, dried, cranberries, and halved mandarin oranges.
- Add in couscous.
- Dip chicken in the balsamic vinegar mix to allow it to soak up some of the liquid and then add chicken to bowl with couscous. Pour remaining liquid on top.
- Mix well (I like to shake the bowl with the lid top on!) and serve!
Notes
I like it best when the couscous and chicken are still warm, but it can be refrigerated and served later.
