Recipe - Chicken and Cous Cous

This is another recipe I got from my mom. I grew up with this dish and now it's also frequent go-to for our family!

Chicken and Cous Cous

Minutes to prepare: 15 minutes

Minutes to cook: 20 minutes

Number of servings: 4 servings

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1 egg

3 T. lemon juice, divided

½ c. flour (I probably use more)

¼ t. garlic powder

½ t. paprika (I use more)

3/8 c. butter (3/4 of a stick)

3 t. chicken flavor base or chicken bouillon (3 cubes if in cube form)

¾ c. boiling water

Trim the chicken and pat dry.  In one bowl beat egg with 1 T. lemon juice.  In another bowl mix flour, garlic powder and paprika.  Dip chicken pieces in egg mixture and then dredge in flour mixture to coat.  Heat butter in skillet and then brown chicken on both sides (turn carefully).  Dissolve bouillon in water and add remaining lemon juice.  Pour this mixture into skillet with chicken, reduce heat, cover and simmer about 20 minutes or until chicken is done.

Make cous cous according to package directions.  Serve chicken over the cous cous and spoon some of the pan drippings over all.  Garnish with a little parsley (if you have some) to make it look nice.
