Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

1/4 cup Moroccan couscous
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped green bell pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon canola oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (3 ounces each)
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup Japanese rice vinegar
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/2 head romaine
1/2 head frisée
1/2 head hydro Bibb lettuce
1 cup arugula
1/2 mango, thinly sliced

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, combine couscous, bell peppers, onion, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/3 cup water. Season with salt.

    Step 2

    Refrigerate until couscous is tender, about 2 hours.

    Step 3

    In a large skillet over high heat, heat canola oil. Cook chicken until golden brown on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Flip chicken and cook through, 6 to 8 minutes.

    Step 4

    Cool chicken; cut into 1/2-inch dice.

    Step 5

    In a blender set to medium, blend lime juice, vinegar, mustard, honey and soy sauce. Slowly add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt.

    Step 6

    Break up lettuce heads and combine leaves with arugula in a bowl. Divide lettuce, couscous, chicken and mango among 4 plates. Dress salad with mustard vinaigrette.
