1/4 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
2 teaspoons lime juice
Salt and pepper
4 (6-to 8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken
breasts, trimmed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped fine
1½ head cauliflower (1 pound), cored and cut
into 1-inch florets
1 pound Swiss chard, stemmed and cut
into 1-inch pieces
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 garlic cloves, minced
11/4 cups chicken broth
1 cup couscous
1/4 cup raisins
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
Instructions
Whisk yogurt, lime juice, ½ teaspoon salt, and
½ teaspoon pepper together in bowl; cover and refrig-
erate until serving. Pat chicken dry with paper towels
and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon
oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until
just smoking. Add chicken and cook until golden brown
on 1 side, 4 to 6 minutes; transfer to plate.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to now-empty
skillet and heat over medium heat until shimmering.
Add onion and ½ teaspoon salt and cook until
onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in cauliflower.
Add chard, a handful at a time, and cook until
wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in curry powder and
garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir
in broth and nestle chicken, browned side up, into
skillet, along with any accumulated juices. Bring
to simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low,
cover, and simmer gently until chicken registers
degrees, about 10 minutes.
Transfer chicken to plate, tent loosely with alumi-
num foil, and let rest while preparing couscous. Stir
couscous and raisins into vegetable-broth mixture.
Cover, remove from heat, and let stand for 5 minutes.
Fluff couscous mixture with fork and season with
salt and pepper to taste. Arrange chicken on top of
couscous mixture, then drizzle with yogurt mixture
and sprinkle with cilantro before serving.
