Notes
TO STORE. The leftover chicken, couscous, and toppings can be stored in separate airtight containers and refrigerated for 4-5 days.
TO FREEZE. Leftover chicken and couscous can be frozen in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Allow them to thaw overnight in the fridge, or add more reheating time.
TO REHEAT. I don’t mind eating this bowl cold, but if you’d prefer, you can microwave the couscous and chicken in 30-second intervals until warm or heat them in a skillet over medium heat.
Recipe variations
- Oven-bake the chicken. If you don’t have a grill or it’s not the right weather, you can cook the chicken on the stovetop over medium heat or bake it in the oven at 400F for 8-9 minutes on one side, then flip and continue baking for another 8-9 minutes.
- Low carb chicken bowls. Swap out the couscous for cauliflower rice.
- Dairy free. Omit the feta cheese and replace the garlic yogurt sauce for hummus.
