Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) (twice around the pan)
4 hot Italian sausage links
4 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning (2/3 palmful)
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 small red bell pepper, cored, seeded, diced
1 10-ounce box frozen French-cut green beans, defrosted
1 cup chicken stock or broth
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives
1 tablespoon capers, drained
2 oranges, zest reserved, peel and pith removed, cut into disks
1/3 cup plain couscous
2 handfuls fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, coarsely chopped

Steps:

Heat a large soup pot with the EVOO over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and brown all over for about 5 minutes. Move the sausage to one side of the pot and then add the sliced chicken. Season liberally with salt and pepper and add the poultry seasoning. Brown the chicken for about 3 minutes, then turn to brown opposite side. Add the onion, garlic, celery, and bell pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the defrosted green beans and the chicken stock. Bring the liquid up to a simmer, then add the olives, capers, orange slices, and orange zest, and stir to distribute. Stir in the couscous and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid. Turn the stove off and let the pot sit covered for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and add the parsley while fluffing the dish with a serving fork. Serve immediately, making sure everyone gets a sausage link.
Broths and stocks have come a long way in the last few years, not only with their taste and consistency but with their packaging, too. They now come in resealable paper containers found on the soup aisle right alongside the cans. The paper containers make storage of remaining product easy; always keep some on hand in your refrigerator. Stocks especially add long-cooked flavor to any quick-cooking dish!
