Orange Chicken With Couscous and Feta Recipe

Step 1

Season the chicken with salt, pepper and orange zest. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on on first side, about 5 minutes, reducing heat as necessary if smoking excessively. Flip and continue cooking until browned on second side, about 4 minutes longer. Add half of the orange juice and continue to cook until chicken is cooked through, about 1 minute longer. Transfer to a large plate and set aside. Wipe out skillet.

Step 3

Add remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to now-empty skillet and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the shallots, a pinch of salt, the chili flakes, coriander and cumin. Cook, stirring and scraping any browned bits from bottom of pan until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and add the couscous and cover for about five minutes, then fluff thoroughly with a fork.

Step 4

Meanwhile, shred the chicken. Add the shredded chicken to the couscous and toss together to combine. Mix in the remaining half of the orange juice, sliced almonds, feta, and raisins. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, garnished with cilantro
