Has anyone got a recipe for chicken with pumpkin, couscous and rice?!
Answers: A dish I saw on a menu and liked the sound of, but I can't seem to find anything that has all four ingredients.
Here is a recipe that I found, have not tried. It was in weights and I tried to use conversions online to convert it to volumes as much as possible.Also did a temp conversion from 200C to 392F, so I changed that to 375F (400F might be too hot).
Middle Eastern Chicken With Pumpkin and Couscous
This is a simple and very delicious recipe, easy to make and so yummy. We got this recipe from the McCormick foods sample pack of Middle Eastern Spices (Harissa).
35min 10 min prep
4 servings
1 lb (400 g) chicken fillets
2.6 cups of 1inch cubes(300 g) pumpkin or butternut squash, peeled and diced
1 TBSP plus 1 tsp (10 g harissa) (McCormick's Middle Eastern Spices)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped coriander
1 lemon, juice of
1 lemon, zest of
? to ? cup (100 g) goat milk feta
2 cups cooked couscous
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Combine chicken, pumpkin, spice and oil and place on a baking tray.
Bake for around 20-25 minutes.
Cool slightly and slice the chicken into strips.
In a large serving bowl combine the coriander, lemon juice and rind, feta cheese, and couscous; mix well.
Finally fold through the pumpkin and the chicken pieces.
Serve garnished with lemon slices and coriander.
Variation- Absolutely delicious!! Don't know how on earth this would feed four people though, I made quite a few changes for two of us + leftovers - maybe we just like big servings! I used one chicken breast, sliced into four pieces and around 600gm pumpkin diced quite small (would use more next time). Same amount of oil, 1 tablespoon of the spice mix. I covered 3/4 cup couscous with 3/4 cup boiling chicken stock, let it sit for five minutes then seasoned with salt and pepper before adding parsley and a grated carrot, nearly a whole slice of reduced fat feta and the chicken/pumpkin. Would add some spanish onion and slivered almonds next time too, but this is a real winner! Thanks for posting!
