This savory and satisfying skillet is also super-simple to make! Hearty chicken thighs are seasoned with a bold blend of herbs and spices, then cooked along with garlicky pearl couscous in one lucky skillet. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice and sprinkle of fresh parsley brighten up the dish, and simple sautéed green beans add color and crunch.

Cooking Steps

Start Prep
1
  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Peel and mince or grate garlic.

Make Skillet
2
  • Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pan (large pan for 4 servings) over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer; season with thyme, half the Fry Seasoning (all for 4), salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned, 1-2 minutes (it’ll finish cooking later in this step).

  • Add garlic and couscous; cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant and couscous is toasted, 30-60 seconds.

  • Stir in mushroom stock concentrate, chicken stock concentrate, 1½ cups water (2¼ cups for 4), and a pinch of salt. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cook until chicken is cooked through, couscous is tender, and water has absorbed, 12-14 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Finish Prep & Cook Beans
3
  • Meanwhile, trim green beans if necessary. Quarter lemon. Roughly chop parsley.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add green beans and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 3-6 minutes.

Finish & Serve
4
  • Squeeze juice from two lemon wedges (four wedges for 4 servings) over chicken and couscous; garnish with parsley. TIP: Add half the lemon juice to start, then taste and add more if you like!

  • Divide chicken and couscous between shallow bowls or serve directly from pan. Serve with green beans and remaining lemon wedges on the side.
