Ingredients to make Chicken Couscous Salad:
- 1 unit of chicken breast fillet
- 1 cup of couscous
- 1 handful of green olives
- 1 piece of feta cheese
- 1 pinch of Salt and Pepper
- 1 pinch of oregano
- 1 jet of Oil
- 1 bunch of parsley
- 1 clove garlic
How to make Chicken Couscous Salad:
- The first step in making this chicken salad is to prepare the couscous.
- I have used a type of couscous that already comes with dried vegetables and is prepared with boiling water.
- Marinate the chicken fillet with a little oil, salt, pepper and dried oregano.
- You can use the seasonings of your choice to season the chicken. Then cut it into strips.
- Tip: If it is a thick piece, you can prick the chicken with a fork so that the flavors of the dressings penetrate the meat.
- Grill the chicken until well done.
- Remember not to add any oil to the pan as the chicken already has some oil from the marinade.
- Turn it around to check that it is well cooked and reserve.
- Separately, cut the olives into slices. I recommend using green olives but if you prefer you can use black or stuffed.
- Feta cheese can already be obtained in squares, but if not, cut the piece you have into small pieces. If you don’t have feta you can use any type of fresh cheese that is slightly salty.
- The dressing for this chicken salad with couscous will be an oil of garlic and parsley.
- To make it, finely chop the garlic and parsley and mix with a little olive oil.
- You can prepare this oil in large quantities and keep it to use in other preparations such as grilled rabbit or to accompany grilled seafood.
- To assemble the salad, mix the warm couscous with the olives and cheese.
- Stir everything to distribute the ingredients evenly. This dish can be eaten both hot and cold.
- Then place the chicken strips on the plate.
- You can take the opportunity to make an original decoration or mix the whole set.
- I have chosen to place the strips forming a star to give a gourmet touch to the presentation.
- Finally sprinkle a little garlic oil and parsley and enjoy.
