Citrus Chicken with Tabbouleh Couscous

Just kidding about the “tho” – I had to throw it out there because I’m so sick of seeing it every.where. Can’t we just speak like normal people?? I guess in this case, write like normal people. I didn’t realize that “though” was such a long and cumbersome word to write (or type). I guess someone put us out of our misery and knocked off the last three letters.

A better question is “tho what?”.

Ok, let’s get back to the chicken.

I marinated boneless, skinless chicken breasts in Stubbs Citrus Onion Marinade . This stuff is insane. Do yourself a favor and go out and get some.

I don’t like flavorless chicken like my husband does (sorry, Mark), but if he can dip it in ketchup he’s happy. I need for it to taste good, if not awesome. And tender.

Nobody likes tough ass chicken.IMGP5650

After about an hour of marinating, this chicken was perfect after cooking. I made couscous tabbouleh style – with fresh parsley, lemon, garlic, tomatoes, onions and feta cheese. That stuff alone is crack-like.

Want some variations?

  • Pork instead of chicken 
  • Quinoa instead of couscous
  • Tofu or meatless chicken, like Morning Star, instead of chicken

You can also make it ahead of time and serve it cold. I like it either way, and it makes a great dip with pita chips.
