Question

Olive oil garlic coated breaded natural chicken breast, grilled portabella mushrooms. Would couscous be good with this? I have never had it or if i have it has been so long it don't remember. Recipes welcome.

Answer 1

Thin Egg noodles in an ever so light consomme broth.

Answer 2

I would make orzo. I preffer it to couse couse personally. But if you use rice a roni - get one that has a garlic base and with a few veggies added in it is great. This is how I make my orzo.

1 1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup orzo
1 TBL of butter
1/2 pakage of frozen carrots/peas combo\
1 stalk celery, chopped fine
1 scallion, chopped fine
1 lemon
1/2 cup of parmasan cheese.

Boil the broth and add the orzo. Add the carrots/peas, celery, and scallion to the orzo about the same time. Then zest the lemon and add to the pot. About 5-7 mins after it has been cooking add the juice of 1/2 of the lemon. When it becomes thick - add the butter and parmasan cheese, stir until blended and creamy.

You can leave out the lemon, but I find that it adds a bit of diversit and brightness to the dish. Orzo is great because you can use almost any veggie in the recipie to add to the pasta.
