couscous with honey, raisins, chicken, and kabocha squash




Rather than pack the kabocha squash leftovers, I used them in a separate dinner meal.

(serves 2, no leftovers)

couscous with honey, raisins, chicken, and kabocha squash

1 cup couscous

3 chicken thighs
1 handful raisins
1 1/4 cup leftover kabocha squash with cumin and cinnamon
2 tsp honey
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cumin
salt
pepper

Cook the couscous by boiling 1 cup of water and adding it to a bowl with the couscous. Cover the couscous and let sit.

Cut the chicken thighs into small, bite-sized pieces. In a pan, over medium-low heat, heat a splash of olive oil. Add the chicken, raisins, honey. Cook for ten minutes, until the chicken is almost cooked through, but still moist. Add the kabocha squash. Add the spices, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for five more minutes until the kabocha squash heats up.

(Note: Mindless tag denotes food that takes 15 minutes or less and does not require much thinking. These recipes are good for dinners after long days at work.)
