I’ve made this once before, and we really liked it. This time I threw in some shredded rotisserie chicken to make it a meal instead of a side! It was really filling this way! Yum! Do not forget the feta!!
Couscous with Swiss Chard, Raisins, chicken, and Feta
adapted from rachealraymag
ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 1/4 cups israeli couscous
One 14-ounce can chicken broth
2/3 cup golden raisins
Salt and pepper
1 bunch swiss chard, stems and leaves chopped separately
One 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
2 ounces crumbled feta cheese
1-2 cups shredded cooked chicken
Directions:
In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add half of the garlic and the couscous and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth; bring to a boil. Cover, lower the heat and simmer until the broth has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Stir in the raisins; season with salt.
Meanwhile, in a skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the remaining garlic and the swiss chard stems and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the swiss chard leaves, chciken, chickpeas and 1/2 cup water, cover and cook, turning, until the chard is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Serve on the couscous and top with the feta.
Nice recipe. Thank you. Have a great day!
