salt and pepper
1 Tbsp. apricot jam
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
6 skinless boneless chicken breast
1 cup couscous ( You find this next to the rice, it's much smaller and very fluffy when cooked)
2 carrots
2 Tbsp. mango or apricot (optional)
Directions:
1. Bring a skillet filled halfway with salted water to boil, add asparagus and cook for 2 minutes, drain and rinse with cold water, toss with 2 teaspoons of olive oil, season with salt and pepper
2.Cut 6, 12 inch pieces of cooking string (I didn't have any, so used shiskabob sticks)
Stir together jam, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon olive oil.
3. Pound each piece of chicken about 1/4 inch thick, season with salt and pepper, place skin side down on baking sheet.
Divide asparagus into 6 equal portions and place each portion clockwise in the center of the chicken cutlet. Roll up each cutlet and tie closed with the kitchen string. Brush the roll ups with the jam mixture and season with salt and pepper.
4. Transfer the chicken roll ups to grill, cover and cook, about 15 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring 1 1/4 cups of water and 1/2 tsp. salt to boil. Stir in couscous and carrots (and mango if you like) cover, turn off beat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork and serve with chicken.
Sound difficult, but really it's not and I used shish ka bob sticks because I didn't have kitchen string, I just poked them through holding it all together, I'm sure kitchen string would work better.
