Ingredients
  

1 cup couscous

1 1/4 cups chicken broth (or water)

1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

1/2 cup buffalo sauce (more or less to taste)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup diced cucumber

1/2 cup chopped green onions

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)

Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Couscous: In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth (or water) to a boil. Stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and set aside.

    Prepare the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chicken is well-coated.

      Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.

        Add Buffalo Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, pour the buffalo sauce over it in the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken evenly and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.

          Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked couscous evenly into serving bowls. Top each bowl with the buffalo chicken mixture.

            Add Toppings: Evenly distribute the cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and chopped green onions over the chicken. If desired, sprinkle blue cheese crumbles on top for added flavor.

              Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley for a vibrant touch. Enjoy your Zesty Buffalo Chicken Couscous Bowls warm!
