Couscous with vegetables and chicken

30 minutes
Couscous with vegetables and chicken is a light, aromatic dish rooted in Arab cuisine. When prepared correctly, couscous becomes tender and fluffy. Lemon and lime add a fresh tang, while olive oil enriches the flavor with smoothness. Chicken makes the dish nutritious, and tomatoes, red onion, and herbs add brightness and juiciness. The taste is balanced—the freshness of citrus combines with the warmth of spices and the earthiness of couscous. This dish is versatile: it can be served as a light dinner or as a side to a main course. It is perfect for summer lunches, picnics, or friendly gatherings, bringing hints of Eastern gastronomy to the atmosphere.
