Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • 1 cup cous cous
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  • Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and olive oil.
  • In a small bowl, mix together paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub the spice mixture onto the chicken breasts.
  • Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

  • Enjoy!

    Is cous cous like rice? I dont know but this tasted good. I used leftovers chicken.

    It was okay. Chicken was kinda dry, but the cous cous was good. Needs more flavor.

      I think the chicken can be a bit tricky to cook just right, especially on the grill. Did you use a meat thermometer? It can really help!

    Ain’t we supposed to grill the chicken longer? I did and it was still pink inside. Stay safe people.

      Nah, I think it was just your grill! Mine turned out perfectly cooked. Maybe you just need to grill it a bit longer, that’s all.

      Yeah, grilling can be tricky sometimes! Maybe try using a meat thermometer next time? Chicken should reach 165°F inside to be safe! Stay cautious!

    Not a fan. The spice mix was too strong for my taste. Would not recommend.

    Spicy Chicken? Too much spice! I thought I was gonna die. Maybe just use half the cayenne next time. 😂

    1. 4 stars
      I think you can handle a bit more spice! But yeah, half cayenne sounds like a good tweak. Spicy food is where the flavor is at! 🌶️
