Total20 minutes
Servings: 4 people

Ingredients 

  • 300 grams couscous
  • 300-400 ml hot broth
  • 4 peaches
  • 100 grams roasted pecans
  • Handful of fresh mint
  • 200 grams feta

For the chicken

  • 2-3 chicken breasts
  • Splash of olive oil
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp rosemary
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Place the couscous in a large bowl and pour the hot broth over it. Cover and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Cut the peaches into small pieces and do the same with the other ingredients, chop everything finely.
  • Meanwhile, marinate the chicken by placing the fillets in a dish with the olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rub the chicken well so it’s fully coated. Cook the chicken through, turning regularly.
  • Set a little feta aside and mix the remaining ingredients into the couscous. Taste and add a bit of the feta brine and/or lemon juice if needed.
  • Slice the chicken and distribute over the couscous salad. Garnish with the reserved feta.
