Ingredients
1
cup
chopped carrot
1
cup
chopped celery
1
cup
chopped chili peppers – use a variety – I used a mixture of serranos
banana peppers, and sweet peppers
2
tablespoons
olive oil
10
ounces
ground chicken
3
cloves
garlic
chopped
1-2
tablespoons
Cajun seasonings
Salt and pepper to taste
1
cup
couscous
1.5
cups
chicken stock
2
medium tomatoes
chopped
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped herbs for serving
Instructions
Heat the oil in a cast iron pan to medium heat. Add carrot, celery and chili peppers and cook them down about 8 minutes to soften.
Add the ground chicken and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Brown it through about 2 minutes.
Add garlic, Cajun seasonings and stir. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for another minute.
Add couscous and chicken stock along with the fresh tomatoes. Stir it all to incorporate.
Bring to a quick light boil then reduce heat to simmer and cook for 10 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed by the couscous.
Remove from heat and let it stand for 10 minutes. The coucous will finish absorbing the liquid.
Top with fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese and serve.
