Directions

  1. 1. Remove filets from chicken breasts [freezing them for stir-fries or possibly chicken fingers]. Lb. remaining pcs of chicken till about 1/2 inch / 1 cm thick.
  2. 2. In small bowl, combine extra virgin olive oil, juice concentrate, cumin, chopped garlic, salt and pepper. Rub mix into chicken breasts. Marinate for 10 min or possibly up to overnight in refrigerator.
  3. 3. Grill chicken breasts on lightly oiled barbecue or possibly grill for a few min per side - 3 to 5 min, or possibly just till cooked through.
  4. 4. Meanwhile, to prepare couscous, bring chicken stock to boil. Add in couscous and cook for 10 min, or possibly till tender.
  5. 5. Stir garlic paste or possibly pesto sauce into couscous. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Place couscous in serving dish and arrange chicken on top.

  8. NOTES :
  9. 1. Recipe calls for orange juice concentrate, but I will try unsweetened frzn grapefruit concentrate instead.
  10. 2. Israeli couscous is sometimes called pearl pasta and is completely different from regular couscous. It looks like little beads and has a texture similar to barley. It should be cooked like pasta is. This ingredient can be bought in Jewish and Italian markets or possibly specialty stores, but can be substituted by a very small pasta such as orzo.
  11. We have tried the chicken part without the grain (Israeli couscous or possibly orzo) part, at least twice, using home-made basil pesto both times. It has already become one of our favourites for this summer's grilling.
