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!


What mess?
