Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and slice zucchini crosswise into 1⁄2-inch-thick rounds. Dice tomato into 1⁄4 inch pieces. Quarter lemon. Roughly chop dill.
• Toss zucchini on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack, until tender and lightly browned, 14-16 minutes. TIP: If you added any other items to your meal (apps, sides, and/or dessert), you can get started on them now!
• While zucchini roasts, in a small pot combine couscous, stock concentrates, and 11⁄2 cup water (3 cups water and a medium pot for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until tender, 8-10 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While couscous cooks, open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken, half the oregano (all for 4 servings), half the garlic powder, a pinch of salt, and pepper. (You’ll use the rest of the garlic powder in the next step.) Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine tomato, juice from half the lemon, a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. • In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, and remaining garlic powder. Add water 1 teaspoon at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Serve zucchini, couscous, chicken, tomato salad, garlic sauce, dill, almonds, and remaining lemon wedges family style and let everyone to build their own bowls. TIP: Dash with your favorite hot sauce if you like things spicy!

Reviews from our home cooks
I thought this had great flavor! I do like when I get recipes from HF and see a great sauce whipped together that I hadn't thought of before! Such the case with the garlic sauce in this recipe! A great accompaniment to this recipe, and something I can easily whip up to make one of my own recipes even better. Loved all the flavor and texture contrasts in this dish!
Very tasty. I didn't give my husband a choice. I cut the zucchini into quarter inch pieces, sautéed them and mixed them into the couscous, then added the chicken and other suggested items. It was delicious.
Amazing, creamy with the sauce, lemony, just enough comfort and zing. Love the crunchy almonds too! The dill isn't really necessary, it might be good cooked on the chicken, but as an add in, it's not necessary.
Awesome! We don't really make a pick and choose bar out of it, we just pile it into the bowl, but it's great. We've actually attempted to make it on our own a few times! We also make it vegetarian too
This was so delicious, all the ingredients complimented each other so well. Really enjoyed this one.
We both loved this meal. It was great tasting and having the chicken pre-diced was extra nice.
This was very good and I was worried my husband might not like it, but he absolutely loved the flavors. However, the zucchini was really small and the lemon seemed a bit old. Overall it was a hit though!
One of my favorite meals so far - hope to see it again soon! My two-meal recipe made three meals for me. Perfect to take to work for lunch.
We all loved this dish. I do have some feedback regarding the seasoning, there wasn't enough of it and it wasn't Mediterranean. Fortunately I had some at home to keep it from being bland. I also suggest giving a little more chicken stock and a fresh lemon to put on the cous cous for a more flavorful dish
We liked the variety of veggies to add to the bowls. Some cheese or beans would have been good with it also.
