1 Tbs olive oil
1/2 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp of pepper
8-10 skinless chicken thighs with bone in ( I actually used about 5-6 boneless chicken breast cutlets- still worked really well)
1/4 c. white wine vinegar
2 cloves of garlic sliced into thin rounds. (Truthfully I didn't know how to make this happen so I just chopped them up and sprinkled them on top... still tasted great)
3-4 sprigs of fresh thyme (I just sprinkled thyme on them from my spice rack.)
1/2 c. pitted olives ( I used Kalamata Olives)
1 lemon, sliced in thin rounds
1 c. whole wheat couscous ( I just used a box and then added a little Italian seasoning to it)
1/2lb of fresh asparagus
1 tsp of lemon zest.
To make:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees
- Heat olive oil in a large oven proof skillet, over medium heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper, add to pan, cook 5 min, turn and cook 2 min.
- Pour out any excess fat, return pan to burner, stir in broth and white wine vinegar. ( I was unsure if I skilled was oven proof so I just put my chicken and broth into an oven proof pan once I had finished with the skillet) Then I sprinkled the garlic, thyme, and olives on chicken and lay one lemon round upon each piece of chicken.
- Put skillet (pan) in oven and Roast chicken for 17-20 min
- Prepare couscous as described on box (add Italian seasoning if you love to season)
- Steam Asparagus until crisp and tended then sprinkle with lemon zest.
- Serve chicken over couscous with steamed asparagus on the side.
- EAT and ENJOY!
