Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Season the 2 chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.

  2. Step 2

    While the chicken cooks, place 1 cup couscous in a bowl, pour 1.5 cups boiling water over it, cover, and let sit until fluffy, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Chop the 1 cup cherry tomatoes and 1 cucumber into small pieces. Fluff the couscous with a fork and stir in the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.

  4. Step 4

    Slice the cooked chicken and divide the couscous between two bowls. Top with the chicken, chopped vegetables, and 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese.

  5. Step 5

    Serve warm, adding extra salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lemon if you like.
