Spicy Cheddar Chicken on Vegetable Couscous

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 2-1/2 tsp. Caribbean jerk seasoning, divided
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 can (14-1/2 oz.) chicken broth
  • 4 cups fresh, cut vegetables, such as carrots, zucchini, onion, beans, cauliflower
  • 1 cup couscous, uncooked
  • 1-1/2 cups (6 oz.) Sargento® Fancy Shredded Mild Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh thyme (optional)
  • Mango, peach or cranberry chutney (optional)

Directions

  1. Sprinkle both sides of chicken breasts with 1-1/2 teaspoons jerk seasoning. Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts; cook 4 minutes per side or until cooked through; set aside.
  2. Add broth, remaining jerk seasoning and vegetables to skillet; heat to a simmer over high heat. Cook 3 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in couscous; remove skillet from heat.
