Zesty Citrus Chicken with Olive and Herb Couscous

Ingredients

• 1 cup olive oil
• 1 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon orange zest

• 4 pieces chicken breasts, boneless, skinless

• 1 cups couscous
• 1 cups chicken broth, low sodium
• 1 cup mixed olives, pitted and chopped
• 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 cup fresh mint, chopped
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method

1. 01
   In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, salt, black pepper, and orange zest for the marinade.
2. 02
   Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3. 03
   Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and charred in spots. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
4. 04
   In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Remove from heat, stir in the couscous, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
5. 05
   Fluff the couscous with a fork, then stir in the chopped olives, parsley, mint, lemon juice, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
6. 06
   Serve the grilled chicken sliced over a bed of olive and herb couscous. Garnish with additional herbs if desired.
