Moroccan Chicken and Olive Skewers with Couscous

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Chicken breast
• 1/4 cup Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon Ginger
• 1/2 cup Olives
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Couscous
• 1 cup Vegetable broth

Instructions

1. 1Cut the 1.5 lbs chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.
2. 2In a bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 3 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
3. 3Add the cubed chicken and 1/2 cup olives to the marinade. Toss everything together to make sure the chicken and olives are fully coated. Let this mixture marinate for at least 30 minutes.
4. 4Thread the marinated chicken and olives onto skewers, alternating between them.
5. 5Preheat your grill to medium heat, which is about 350°F to 400°F (175°C to 200°C).
6. 6Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
7. 7While the skewers are grilling, heat 1 cup of vegetable broth in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until it is boiling. Stir in the 1 cup couscous, cover the saucepan, and remove it from the heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff the couscous with a fork.
8. 8Serve the grilled chicken and olive skewers alongside the fluffy couscous.
