Ingredients
- Head of green cabbage shredded
- 2 packages of Couscous - I used Near East's Chicken flavored Cous Cous
- 1/3 package of baby carrots sliced
- 1 cup 1/4 Chicken broth note, we didn't have enough chicken broth to do what the instructions on the box called for, which was 2 1/2 cups chicken broth, so we subbed in water.
- 1 cup 1/4 water
- 4 tsp olive oil
- Additional olive oil for browning chicken
Instructions
- Heat up <g class="gr_ gr_123 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins doubleReplace replaceWithoutSep" id="123" data-gr-id="123">big</g> pot for steaming - use the bigger steamer insert
- When water is boiling, steam the hard veggies -- start with the cauliflower and then add the carrots
- While that is steaming, lightly brown the chicken with additional olive oil
- Once the chicken is browned, add that to the steamer.
- Make the 2 packages of Couscous in a separate pot (just follow the directions on the box)
- Then add cabbage to steamer pot (same time you're making the Cous Cous)
- When Couscous is done, add everything together in a big bowl.
- Garnish with <g class="gr_ gr_75 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del" id="75" data-gr-id="75">chick peas</g> if you wish and serve!
