Preparation
1
Prep

  • Before starting, lightly oil the grill. While you prep, preheat the grill to medium-high (approx. 500°F).
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Cut zucchini into 1/4-inch slices lengthwise.
  • Core, then cut pepper into halves.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Zest, then juice lemon.
  • To a plate, add zucchini and peppers. Drizzle 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over top. Season with pepper and half the garlic salt.
  • In a small bowl, combine mayo, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) garlic, 1 tsp (2 tsp) lemon zest, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lemon juice and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) water. Season with salt and pepper.

2
Prep chicken

  • Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with pepper and remaining garlic salt.
  • On a plate, brush pesto all over chicken.
  • Gather chicken, veggies, a clean plate and tools on a platter, then head out to grill!

3
Grill chicken

  • To one side of the grill, add chicken. Close lid and grill for 6-8 min per side, until cooked through.**
  • Transfer chicken to the clean plate.

4
Grill veggies

  • Add veggies to the other side of the grill. Close lid and grill for 3-4 min per side, flipping once, until tender.
  • Return to the same plate. 

5
Cook couscous

  • To a medium pot, add 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water and stock powder. Bring to a boil over high.
  • To the boiling water, stir in couscous. Remove the pot from heat, then cover and set couscous aside for 5 min to rehydrate.
  • When done, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Season with salt and pepper.

6
Finish and serve

  • Meanwhile, when cool enough to touch, cut veggies into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Thinly slice chicken.
  • To the pot with couscous, stir in veggies and arugula-spinch mix.
  • Divide couscous between plates. Top with chicken. 
  • Spoon lemon aioli over top.
  • Sprinkle couscous with goat cheese.

7
Modularity step (under step 2)

If you've opted to get chicken, prep and cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to prep and cook turkey.** Increase grill time to 6-8 min.
