I just threw this together tonight and thought it was good and easy enough to share
Serves 4
12 oz. boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into large pieces
1 small yellow onion, chopped into chunks
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
garlic powder
1/4 cup orange juice
1 tsp. dijon mustard
2 cups plain cous cous (cooked according to package directions-looking back I should have cooked it in chicken broth b/c my son didn't like it, and I am sure he would have if it had been a little more flavorful)
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions & garlic & saute until slightly tender. Also cook cous cous (add dried cranberries after you add cous cous to boiling water) and any vegetable side (we had green beans).
2. Add chicken to pan with onions & garlic and cook until no longer pink on the inside. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil.
3. Using the same pan, add the orange juice and dijon mustard scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir frequently and allow it to thicken.
4. Add chicken back into pan and toss to coat with sauce.
5. Serve chicken over a bed of the cous cous with a side of vegetables.
