My dad's side of the family is Greek so any chance I get to try food from our culture, I do not hesitate. This is another great recipe found in Family Circle. I love making up a big batch of this dish and packing it for my lunch throughout the week. It is tasty as well as filling.
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
3/4 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups couscous
6oz green beans
2 cups shredded chicken breast meat
3 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 can artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
1 cup crumbled Feta cheese
1/3 cup Kalamata olives, halved
2 tbsp lemon juice
Heat oil in a medium-size nonstick saucepan over
medium-high heat. Cook garlic 30 seconds, then stir in onion, oregano
and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook 4 minutes. Stir in couscous and cook for 1 minute. Add
chicken broth and 1 cup water to pot and bring to a boil; reduce heat to
medium-low and cook, covered, for 12 minutes or until water is
absorbed. Add green beans to pot for last 5 minutes of cook time. Stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, chicken,
tomatoes, artichoke hearts, feta, olives and lemon juice and serve
immediately.
