• totale tijd: 40 minutes

Ingrediënten

1 ¼ pound boneless skinless chicken thighs (4 pieces)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup pearl couscous

2 garlic cloves (minced)

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

2 cups chicken broth

½ lemon (sliced)

Instructies

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel.

In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle generously over the chicken thighs.

Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet, presentation-side down. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and releases easily from the skillet, about 3–4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

To the same skillet, add the couscous, garlic, and thyme. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and the couscous is toasted, about 2–3 minutes. Add the chicken broth to deglaze the skillet, and bring the mixture to a boil.

Add the chicken back to the skillet. Nestle the lemon slices around the chicken and place the skillet in the oven. Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the couscous puffs up, about 15 minutes.
