Moroccan Chicken Skewers with Couscous

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Chicken breast
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tsp Ginger
• 1 tsp Turmeric
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 tsp Coriander
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 cup Couscous
• 1 cup Vegetable broth
• 0.25 cup Parsley

Instructions

1. 1Cut the 1.5 lbs of chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.
2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp of olive oil, 2 tbsp of lemon juice, 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tsp of ginger, 1 tsp of turmeric, 1 tsp of cumin, 1 tsp of coriander, 0.5 tsp of salt, and 0.25 tsp of black pepper until combined.
3. 3Add the 1.5 lbs of chicken cubes to the marinade and toss well to ensure every piece is coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
4. 4Preheat your grill to medium heat, aiming for a temperature of 375°F (190°C).
5. 5Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece. You should have enough chicken for about 8-10 skewers.
6. 6Place the chicken skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
7. 7While the chicken is grilling, prepare the 1 cup of couscous. In a small saucepan, bring the 1 cup of vegetable broth to a boil. Once boiling, stir in the 1 cup of couscous, cover the saucepan, and remove it from the heat. Let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
8. 8Once the couscous is fluffed, stir in the 0.25 cup of chopped parsley.
9. 9Serve the grilled Moroccan chicken skewers immediately over the fluffy couscous.
