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?
