Cooking Steps

Marinate Chicken
1

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Peel and mince garlic. Zest and quarter lemon. • In a medium bowl, combine Tunisian Spice Blend, half the yogurt, half the garlic (you’ll use the rest of the yogurt and garlic later), 1 TBSP olive oil, 1 tsp salt, a squeeze of lemon juice, and pepper. (For 4 servings, use 2 TBSP olive oil and 2 tsp salt.) • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Add to bowl with marinade and turn to coat. Set aside until ready to use in Step 4.

Prep & Roast Carrots
2

• Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Roughly chop cilantro. • Toss carrots on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and a pinch of chili flakes. • Roast on top rack until golden brown and tender, 20-25 minutes.

Trim and discard woody bottom ends from asparagus. Swap in asparagus for carrots. Roast until lightly browned and tender, 10-12 minutes. (Save carrots for another use.)

Make Sauce
3

• While carrots roast, in a small bowl, combine sour cream, remaining yogurt, and remaining garlic to taste. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.

Cook Chicken
4

• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium heat. • Remove chicken from marinade; allow excess to drip off. Add to pan and cook until browned and cooked through, 6-8 minutes per side. TIP: Lower heat if chicken begins to brown too quickly. • Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board to rest. Once cool enough to handle, slice crosswise.

Cook Couscous
5

• Meanwhile, 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, 30 seconds. • Stir in stock concentrate and ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4). Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until couscous is tender, 6-8 minutes. • Fluff couscous with a fork; stir in lemon zest to taste. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve
6

• Divide chicken, couscous, and carrots between plates. Top chicken with garlic sauce and cilantro; sprinkle with remaining chili flakes if desired. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165º.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: Many loved the garlic sauce, calling it outstanding. Some found the dish needed more seasoning overall.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, though a few noted cooking times for thin chicken cutlets were too long.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding chili flakes to couscous while toasting for extra flavor. Try baking chicken with a panko-parmesan topping for variety.
  • Portions: Some felt there wasn't enough asparagus for two servings.
