Method
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Toss the sliced zucchini rounds with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon Tuscan Heat Spice, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for about 15 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Season chicken cutlets with salt, pepper, and remaining Tuscan Heat Spice. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon olive oil, add the chicken and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, until browned and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer to a plate when done.
- In a small pot, saute the white parts of the scallions until fragrant. Add Israeli couscous and toast briefly. Pour in 1 1/2 cups water and cover, cooking for 6-8 minutes until tender.
- Remove zucchini from oven and toss with panko breadcrumbs and mozzarella cheese. Broil for 2-3 minutes until golden and bubbly, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Prepare the sauce by combining chicken stock concentrate, 2 tablespoons water, lemon juice, sour cream, and butter in the same pan used for the chicken. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Fluff the cooked couscous with a fork, then combine with the green scallion parts and remaining lemon zest.
- Serve the chicken alongside the crispy zucchini and couscous, drizzling sauce over the chicken. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Greek yogurt can replace sour cream for a healthier option. Quinoa makes a great gluten-free alternative to couscous. If sauce is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time. Store leftovers in separate airtight containers for up to 3 days. Chicken and sauce can be frozen for up to 3 months.
