Chicken and a medley of garden-fresh vegetables simmer together in a garlic-spiced, tomato-based broth. Tangy feta cheese adds a touch of creaminess.
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 1¼ pounds total)
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking oil
- 1½ cups sliced zucchini (1 medium)
- ¾ cup chopped green sweet pepper (1 medium)
- 1 medium onion, sliced and separated into rings
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ cup water
- 1 10.75-ounce can condensed tomato soup
- 2 cups hot cooked couscous*
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese (2 ounces)
- Lemon wedges
- Sprinkle chicken with salt and black pepper. In a 12-inch skillet cook chicken in hot oil over medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes or until internal temperature of chicken registers 170F on an instant-read thermometer, turning once. Remove chicken from skillet; keep warm.
- Add zucchini, sweet pepper, onion, garlic, and the ⅛ teaspoon black pepper to skillet. Add the water; reduce heat. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. Stir in soup. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes more, stirring once.
- To serve, divide couscous among dinner plates. Place chicken on couscous. Spoon vegetable mixture over chicken and couscous. Sprinkle with feta cheese and serve with lemon wedges. Makes 4 servings.
*Note: For 2 cups cooked couscous, in a 1-quart saucepan bring 1 cup water and a dash of salt to boiling. Stir in ⅔ cup quick-cooking couscous. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
