Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a small saucepan, then remove from heat. Stir in the couscous, cover, and let stand for 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, fluff with a fork, and let cool for 10 minutes. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, tomatoes, olives, feta, olive oil, oregano, parsley, lemon rind, and garlic; toss to combine.
  3. Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thickness. Divide the couscous mixture evenly among the chicken breasts, roll up jelly-roll style, and secure with wooden picks. Sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper.
  4. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray. Add the chicken and cook for 6 minutes until browned, then turn over. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake at 400°F for 5 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
