Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Use a mallet or heavy pan to pound a chicken breast so it is an even thickness.

  2. Heat a skillet with a little olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side.

  3. In the very last minute of cooking, squeeze a little fresh lemon juice directly over the chicken in the pan.

  4. Prepare standard couscous (it usually only takes 5 minutes to steep in hot water or broth). Serve the lemon chicken directly on top.
