Quick and Easy Chicken Couscous Dinner (WEM)
Recipes | May 29, 2013
Hi guys,
I have another great recipe video that is easy to follow and really, really good. The benefit of this dish is not only the easy preparation, it also provides you with some important nutritional values. Including couscous in your meals can be very beneficial for weight loss, because it provides you with a low calorie grain (lower than rice and quinoa) that is packed with Selenium and Potassium. Combining the couscous with legumes is also a great source of complete protein which is important for sustaining energy and muscle repair after exercise. If you are following my high intensity workouts, you should always include protein and carbs in your meals. I am all for lower carb diet which means including more veggies and fruit as a source of carbs, however I do not recommend to exclude carbs completely. The best time to have whole grains and other starchy carbs is within 2 hours after your workout.
That said, lets get started, so that you can have an awesome low calorie dinner that will boost your energy and satisfy your taste buds.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of couscous
- 1 cup of water
- 1/2 can of diced tomatoes seasoned with garlic and basil
- 5 to 7 mini portobella mushrooms
- 1/4 coarsely chopped onion
- coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon of Z Spice Mix
- 1/2 can of 3 kinds of beans
- Parmesan cheese
- Salt & pepper
- Boneless, skinless, chicken breast if you are a meat eater
Z-Spice Mix
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp all spice
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 1/2 tsp ground pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
