Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup frozen sweet peas (from 9 oz box)
3/4 cup water
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup uncooked couscous
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon apricot preserves or honey
1/2 teaspoon spicy brown mustard
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

Steps:

  • Place peas, water, salt and ginger in 1-quart saucepan. Heat to boiling over high heat; reduce heat to medium-­low. Cover and simmer 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in couscous. Cover; let stand 5 minutes.
  • Set oven control to broil. Mix orange juice, preserves and mustard in small bowl. Pour half of mixture (about 2 tablespoons) into another small dish; reserve for topping.
  • Place chicken on rack in broiler pan; brush with about half of remaining orange juice glaze.
  • Broil with tops about 4 inches from heat 8 to 10 minutes, turning and brushing with glaze after 5 minutes, until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut. Discard any remaining glaze.
  • Stir pilaf lightly with fork; divide evenly onto plates. Top with chicken; drizzle with reserved orange juice mixture.
