Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Zest and quarter lemon.

Mix Panko Crust
2
  • In a medium bowl, combine panko, mozzarella, half the Italian Seasoning, 1½ TBSP olive oil (all the Italian Seasoning and 3 TBSP olive oil for 4 servings), salt, and pepper.

Prep Chicken
3
  • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. TIP: Not sure how much chicken to use? Reference the “Before you start” section at left for guidance!

  • Lightly coat a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil. Place chicken on one side of sheet (for 4 servings, place across entire sheet).

  • Evenly spread sour cream onto tops of chicken, then mound with panko mixture, pressing firmly to adhere (no need to coat the undersides).

Roast Chicken & Broccoli
4
  • Toss broccoli on opposite side of sheet from chicken with a large drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. (For 4 servings, add broccoli to a second baking sheet; roast on middle rack.)

  • Roast on top rack until chicken is golden brown and cooked through and broccoli is slightly crispy, 18-22 minutes. TIP: If broccoli is done before chicken, remove from sheet and continue roasting chicken.

Cook Couscous
5
  • While chicken and broccoli roast, melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add couscous and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until toasted, 2-3 minutes.

  • Add 1 cup water (2 cups for 4) and stock concentrates. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until couscous is tender, 6-8 minutes. 

  • Turn off heat. Drain any excess liquid if necessary.

Finish & Serve
6
  • Once chicken is done, stir 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) into couscous until melted. Stir in lemon zest and lemon juice to taste; season with salt and pepper.

  • Halve each piece of chicken lengthwise.

  • Divide couscous, chicken, and broccoli between plates. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
