Preparation
1
Prep

  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Quarter zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch quarter-pieces.
  • Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Finely chop parsley.
  • Drain olives, discarding liquid, then roughly chop.

2
Cook couscous

  • To the boiling water, add couscous. Cook uncovered for 8-10 min, stirring occasionally, until tender. 
  • Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water. Strain couscous, then return to the pot, off heat.

3
Sear and roast chicken

  • Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper and half the Harissa Spice Blend.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil and chicken. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan; cook chicken in 2 batches if needed.) Cook for 1-2 min per side, until golden.
  • Transfer chicken to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven for 12-14 min, until chicken is cooked through.**

4
Cook veggies

  • Meanwhile, reheat the same pan over medium.
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil and zucchini. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until softened.
  • Add remaining Harissa Spice Blend. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until fragrant and zucchini is tender-crisp.
  • Add tomatoes, olives, raisins, chicken broth concentrate, half the parsley, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and reserved pasta water. Bring to a simmer.
  • Add cooked couscous. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.

5
Finish and serve

  • Thinly slice chicken.
  • Divide veggie couscous between bowls.
  • Top with feta and chicken.
  • Sprinkle with remaining parsley.

6
Modularity Step (under step 3)
