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 garlic, half the yogurt, 1 TBSP olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and pepper (2 TBSP olive oil, a big squeeze of lemon juice, and 2 tsp salt for 4 servings).

  • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Add to bowl with marinade and turn to coat.

  • Set aside to marinate until ready to use in Step 5.

If Making Rice
2
  • In a small pot, combine rice, one packet of stock concentrate, ¾ cup water, and a pinch of salt (two packets of stock concentrate and 1½ cups water for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. TIP: If not making rice, skip this step!

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve. 

Prep & Roast Broccoli
3
  • While rice cooks (if making), cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Roughly chop cilantro

  • Toss broccoli on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and a pinch of chili flakes. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 15-20 minutes.

Make Sauce
4
  • While broccoli roasts, 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
5
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium heat. 

  • Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip off; discard excess marinade. Add chicken 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 chicken to a cutting board to rest. Once cool enough to handle, slice crosswise.

If Making Couscous
6
  • Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small pot (second small pot if you’re also making rice) over medium-high heat. Add couscous and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring, until toasted, 30 seconds. 

  • Stir in one packet of stock concentrate and 1 cup water (two packets of stock concentrate and 2 cups water for 4). Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until couscous is tender, 6-8 minutes.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Finish & Serve
7
  • Drizzle roasted broccoli with hot honey and carefully toss to combine on baking sheet. 

  • For Rice: Fluff rice with a fork; stir in half the lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper.

  • For Couscous: Fluff couscous with a fork; stir in half the lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper

  • Divide chicken, hot honey broccoli, and your choice of lemony rice and/or lemony couscous between plates. Top chicken with garlic sauce and cilantro; sprinkle with remaining chili flakes if desired. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: The yogurt marinade elevated the chicken's taste, and many loved the garlic sauce. Some found the Tunisian spice blend divisive.
  • Ease of prep: Several noted it was time-consuming with multiple steps, making it challenging for a weeknight meal.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding extra garlic to the broccoli for more flavor. Adjust cooking times for chicken to ensure it's fully cooked.
  • Portions: Some wished for more broccoli and sauce. A few found including both rice and couscous reduced portion sizes.
  • Cooking tips: Watch the oven temperature for broccoli; some found it burned at high heat. Ensure chicken pieces are even for consistent cooking.
