Cous cous with vegetables and grilled boneless chicken thighs

Hi everyone! welcome back to my blog again and as usual,I am here to share another wonderful recipe! Hope we all had a swell weekend! So today's menu is cous cous with vegetables and grilled boneless chicken thighs.

 So lets start with the ingredients for the grilled boneless chicken thighs,you will need the following :

• Four pieces of chicken thighs (boneless)
• Two cloves of garlic
• Half a teaspoon of salt
• Half a teaspoon of dry thyme
• A dash of curry
• One chicken bouillon
• One tablespoon of suya spice
• One tablespoon of teriyaki sauce
• One tablespoon of dark soy sauce
• One tablespoon of oyster sauce

Now to debone your thighs,place a thigh on a flat board with the skin side being under and the rough side being up,locate the single bone on the thigh,now use your knife and score a line along the bone(like a vertical incision),exposing the bone,then put your index finger under the bone and run your finger along the bone seperating it from the meat,and finally just use your knife to cut out the edges of the bone still attached to the meat .

Now add everything up in a bowl and mix,make sure the spices get in there!cover the bowl with a cling film and set aside in the refrigerator for about thirty minutes or more.When its done marinating,bring the chicken out and let it get to room temperature before grilling it.

So before it hits the oven,lets brown it first in a grill pan or normal pan,and then put it in the oven to continue cooking,like so

Set your oven to about 180 degrees celsius and cook for about twenty minutes and its done! Take it out,let it cool before carving it and serving!

Next up is the cous cous! you will need the following ingredients:

• 200g of cous cous (for two to three servings)
• Two cloves of garlic
• Two chilli peppers
• 2/3 of a cup of chopped mushrooms
• One medium size carrot(chopped)
• Two small green onions (chopped)
• One small red onion
• One tablespoon of dark soy
• One tablespoon of oyster sauce
• Two chicken bouillons
• A dash of salt
• A cup of chicken stock (optional)

Heat your pot with a little drizzle of vegetable oil,add in the onions and garlic,sautee them for a bit before adding the rest of the veggies without the green onions,save it for last,add it in when the cous cous is almost done.Stir fry the veggies for a few minutes and then add in the chicken stock or normal water,add in about three to four cups of water,add in all your seasoning,taste and adjust anything,then let it simmer for a few minutes,then add in the cous cous.Cous cous doesn't take time to cook,it should be done in five minutes,check the texture of the cous cous if its soft enough or it needs more water,and thats all!

Serve your cous cous along side grilled chicken and enjoy!

Remember you can always switch things up to suit your taste,hope you give this recipe a try and enjoy!
