with Couscous & Broccoli
If you saw this one and thought, “Oh no, chicken again?” then you thought wrong! This version, courtesy of the geniuses in our test kitchen, is a game changer. You’ll dredge chicken in cornstarch to guarantee an extra-crispy and beautifully browned finish. Add scallion, garlic, hot honey, and butter to the pan to create a glossy sweet-hot glaze to coat that crispy bird. You’ll serve it on a bed of springy couscous alongside tender sautéed zucchini with a sprinkle of zippy scallions and chili flakes to bring it all home. Oh, and did we mention: on the table in a hot 20 minutes?

• In a small pot, combine couscous, stock concentrates, and ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until couscous is tender, 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess water if necessary. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While couscous cooks, wash and dry produce. • Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince or grate garlic. **Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. (Save zucchini for another use.)**
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until browned and tender, 4-7 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out pan. **Swap in broccoli for zucchini. Cook 5-7 minutes.**
• While zucchini cooks, open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. • Place chicken in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add cornstarch and toss until chicken is fully coated. • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for zucchini over medium-high heat. Add coated chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
• Reduce heat under pan with chicken to medium. Add another drizzle of oil, scallion whites, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add hot honey and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings); cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is glossy and chicken is thoroughly coated.
• Fluff couscous with a fork; taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. • Divide couscous between shallow bowls. Top with chicken and zucchini in separate sections. Garnish with scallion greens and as many chili flakes as you like. Serve. ***Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.***
