Chicken, Veggies and Couscous

Couscous Pilaf with Pureed Chicken and Leeks

Daniel and I tried out a new recipe today, with great success. If doubled, this recipe is family worthy! Danny enjoyed the chicken, veggie and couscous pilaf, making a ginormous mess. Perhaps I shouldn't have let him feed himself?

Chicken, Veggies and Couscous

1 T butter

1/4 cup chopped leeks

1/4 cup chopped chicken

1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup couscous

• Heat butter over medium heat. Saute leeks until tender, about 8 minutes.
• Add chopped chicken. Saute until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
• For younger babies, puree leeks and chicken, thinning to desired consistency with water.
• Meanwhile, cook carrots and peas according to package.
• At the same time, boil water. Once boiling, stir in couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let sit for five minutes to cook.
• Mix all ingredients in a bowl and allow to cool. Serve to hungry munchkin!
  

I really like this couscous, Ma!
