| Chicken & Veggies with Couscous Quick Skillet Dinner |
Yet another quick and easy chicken skillet dinner. Done in about 30 minutes!
No long story here, just that I threw this together with what I had on hand. Everyone who reads here knows I’m one of the queens of EASY one-pan skillet dinners. Here’s another of them
You can use any veggie combo you want that you think will go well with the chicken.
If you don’t have couscous on hand, use a pasta such as orzo. The proportions of water to orzo is the same as couscous.
I use concentrated liquid stock because it tastes fantastic, but you can sub 2 chicken stock cubes for it in this.
No fancy pic here, since this post is a bonus and I really didn’t expect I’d ever put this up. Just taken with my iPad out on my porch–not professional quality. Just the meal is!
Enjoy!
