Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 teaspoons olive oil 1/4 cup Israeli (pearl) couscous 1 garlic clove, minced Coarse salt and ground pepper 2 cups baby spinach (2 ounces) 1 tablespoon sliced almonds 1 chicken breast half (6 to 8 ounces) 1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala

Directions

In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 teaspoon oil over medium. Add couscous; cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook until liquid is almost absorbed, about 6 minutes. Add spinach, and cook until couscous is tender, 1 minute. Stir in almonds, and set aside.

Sprinkle chicken with garam masala; season with salt and pepper. In a small skillet over medium-low, heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Add chicken; cook until opaque throughout, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Slice chicken; serve with couscous.

Cook’s Notes Garam masala is a fragrant Indian blend of spices that usually includes black pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, and coriander. As with regular couscous, Israeli couscous is a type of pasta made with semolina flour, but its grains, or pearls, are larger and chewier.

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/01/2008   Israeli couscous is nothing like dry, regular couscous. Your husband/you should give it a try. Really good and so easy. I add toasted pinenuts, a littel red pepper flakes, chicken broth.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/24/2008   I made this recipe with bulgar instead of couscous. My husband won't eat couscous, but will eat bulgar wheat. The trick is not to let the bulgar get too mushy. I also could not find garam masala... we live in the nothwoods, I'm lucky to find boneless chicken :). Anyway, you can make a combination of the spices and work with them and is was very tasty.
