Clean Eating: Chicken, Spinach, Tomatoes & Mozzarella with Couscous





Chicken, Spinach, Tomatoes & Mozzarella with Couscous 

Makes about 4 servings

Ingredients:

1 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
2-3 chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces
2 T olive oil
1/2 t. garlic powder
1 Cup whole wheat couscous
1 1/4 Cup chicken broth
Fresh basil leaves to taste or 1/2 T. dried basil
4 Cups fresh baby spinach
1/2 Cup fresh mozzarella cubed

Directions:
  1. Place cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 T olive oil and garlic powder. Roast  at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
  2. In a large saute pan cook chicken in remaining 1 T olive oil until cooked thoroughly, then remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Add chicken broth, basil, spinach to pan and bring to a boil. 
  4. Add couscous and mix well.
  5. Remove from heat, place chicken on top of couscous mixture and cover for 5 minutes.
  6. Remove lid and add roasted tomatoes and mozzarella before serving.


This is an easy and delicious clean meal that has become one of my favorites. Next time I'm going to drizzle balsamic reduction over the top for extra flavor.
