Ingredients
4 servings
Instructions
- To make the pesto: In a food processor, pulse basil, spinach and arugula mix, garlic, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper until smooth. Slowly add the olive oil while pulsing.
- Place couscous in a medium, heat-proof bowl. Add boiling water and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover.
- Let stand for 5 minutes or until liquid has been absorbed. Fluff couscous with a fork to separate grains.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the pesto. Toss to combine and set aside.
- Pound the thicker end of the chicken to make both sides leveled out so they cook evenly.
- Spritz with oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper.
- Heat a grill or grill pan on medium-high heat.
- Spritz the zucchini and tomato all over with olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
- Cook zucchini, in batches, for 2 to 3 minutes each side or until tender. Transfer to a baking sheet. Cover to keep warm.
- Add tomato to the grill. Cook, turning, for 1 to 2 minutes or until softened.
- Cook the chicken 3 to 4 minutes each side or until browned and cooked through. Slice.
- Divide couscous between 4 plates, 3/4 cup each.
- Top with vegetables and chicken. Drizzle with remaining pesto. Serve.
