20-Minute Chicken Thighs and Couscous with Dill
Ingredients
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
Kosher salt
1 1/4 cups couscous
1 cup loosely packed dill fronds, chopped
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
1 cup grape tomatoes, each pierced halfway through with a paring knife
Zest of 2 lemons, plus juice of 3 lemons, plus 1 medium lemon, cut into 4 wedges
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Freshly ground black pepper
2 medium Persian cucumbers, quartered and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1/2 cup 2% Greek yogurt
Instructions
Position an oven rack about 4 inches away from the broiler heat source and preheat. Bring 1 1/2 cups water, the butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a simmer in a covered medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat, quickly stir in the couscous and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the couscous with a fork, stir in the dill, cover and set aside.
Meanwhile, toss the chicken, tomatoes, lemon zest and juice, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together on a rimmed baking sheet. Unfold the chicken thighs so they're covered with the marinade, and lay them as flat as possible.
