I was inspired yesterday when I went to Panda Express; they have a new item called Honey and Walnut Shrimp. I enjoyed it so much that I thought I would create something along the same line with what I had at home.
*Marinate overnight in fridge- chicken with honey and oil olive. Massage bag to coat thoroughly.
Heat skillet for chicken. Meanwhile, wash green beans and snap off ends. When skillet is hot, spray with cooking spray and place chicken in, covering to cook well. Pour equal amounts of couscous and water into a microwaveable safe dish.* Microwave for 2-3 minutes or until soft. Place green beans in microwaveable safe dish with a splash of water; cover losely and cook for 1-2 minutes or until desired tenderness. Meanwhile, put small saucepan on stove at medium/low heat. Melt butter, add some flour and cook for a minute or so stirring constantly. Add milk and add lemon juice to desired tartness. Watch sauce to make sure it doesn't burn. Sauce will thicken. Turn chicken. Once all is cooked, place chicken, couscous and green beans on plate and pour sauce over middle of all. This recipe rocks!
*I accidentally discovered that you don't have to "cook" the couscous. I had poured the water onto the grain but set it aside when I was doing something else and when I came back, the grain was soft so all I really had to do was warm it up in the microwave which took less than 45 seconds!
