I said it before and I will say it again…I love bowls. This greek inspired bowl features chicken and couscous, and includes artichokes, spinach, feta, tomato, and olives. It’s lemoney, herby and so so good. I like eating this when the chicken and couscous are still warm, but it’s also great as a cold salad. Perfect for meal prep.
Fresh or dry herbs will work just fine, and garlic clove can easily be subbed for the garlic powder.
You will want to cook your couscous according to the package instructions. I used israeli couscous and used 1 cup to 1 1/2 cups water. Rice or chickpeas would be a good option to substitute.
