Ingredients

  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ⅓ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 1 cup dry couscous
  • ½ cucumber, peeled and shredded
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 broccoli crown, cut into florets
  • 1 medium red onion, diced
  • ½ cucumber, peeled and diced
  • 2 roma tomatoes, diced
  • ½ cup chopped Kalamata olives, or to taste
  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 (4 ounce) package crumbled feta cheese, or to taste

Cooking Directions

  1. Mix rosemary, black pepper, salt, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, cardamom, and coriander together in a small bowl. Place chicken on a plate and season with spice mixture. Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat until it starts to shimmer, 2 to 3 minutes. Add seasoned chicken to the pan and cook, covered, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip chicken over and cook, uncovered, until browned on the outside and no longer pink on the inside, 5 to 6 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Squeeze lemon juice over chicken and allow to cool 5 minutes. Slice into strips.
  2. While chicken cooks, bring water to a boil in a saucepan and add salt to taste. Add couscous, stir once, and cover. Remove saucepan from heat and let couscous steam for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  3. Mix cucumber, sour cream, yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, mint, dill, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl until tzatziki sauce is just combined.
  4. Divide cooked couscous between 4 bowls. Top with cooked chicken, tzatziki sauce, broccoli, onion, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, parsley, and feta cheese. Serve immediately or store in airtight containers to reheat later.
