1headBroccolicut into small florettes (about 275 grams)
1cupWater
½Red Onionsliced thin, (about 75 grams)
Instructions
Start by heating a large stovetop pan to medium heat.
While the pan is heating, chop up your chicken and broccoli.
Season your chicken with 3/4's of the curry, garlic, and cayenne. The rest will be added towards the end.
Once your pan is hot add your oil to the pan, then add your chopped chicken. Spread your chicken out into an even layer and allow to cook for 3-5 minutes, until that side is golden brown.
After 3-5 minutes, toss your chicken in the pan and continue cooking for another 2 minutes tossing often. Your chicken will not be full cooked at this point.
Now add 2 cups water and 1 cup couscous to the pan. Turn the heat up so that your water begins to boil. Cook the chicken with the couscous for 5 minutes. Stirring every 2 minutes or so.
After about 5 minutes most of the water should be absorbed into the couscous. Now add the additional cup of water and the cream cheese to the pan. Stir everything together for 1 minute until well incorporated and the cheese begins to melt.
Now add the broccoli to the pan, spreading the broccoli out on top of the other ingredients. No need to mix the broccoli in just yet. This allows the broccoli to sort of steam on top. Turn the heat down to medium-low and cover with a lid. Cook for 6 minutes.
After 6 minutes remove the lid, season with the remaining curry, garlic, and cayenne, and season to taste with a tiny bit of black pepper and salt. Then add the sliced red onions. Stir everything together. By now your broccoli should be just about done. (I like my broccoli to still have some crips to it, not mushy)
Cover with the lid and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Stirring every 30 seconds to prevent burning. After 2 minutes the dish is done. Serve and enjoy!
