Tomato Garlic Chicken with Cous-Cous

Jordan and I created this recipe while searching for something a little healthier and it's definitely one of our favorites.  So favorite that we made it for our anniversary. It's very simple, too, as that's the only thing I like to cook!

You'll need:

 1 pint (or whatever size container you have) of grape tomatoes, sliced in half

2-3 cloves garlic, minced. Or more. Garlic is good.

1 lb. Chicken breasts or tenderloins (we used tenderloins here)

Your favorite seasoning mix (we use Mrs. Dash)

Salt

Pepper

Chicken stock

1 box garlic flavored cous-cous

Olive Oil

1. Cook cous-cous according to package directions.

2. Go twice around the pan (probably will be about 2 tbsp.) with your olive oil and turn burner to medium high.

3. Season your chicken with the seasoning mix and salt and pepper.

4. Once oil is hot, brown chicken until cooked thoroughly.

5. Once chicken is cooked, remove from pan. Add more olive oil, once around the pan, and once oil is heated, add garlic. Let cook for about a minute or until you can smell the garlic, then add the tomatoes. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes.

6. Deglaze the pan by adding a splash of chicken stock. Be sure to rub the bottom to get all those delicious bits off of the bottom.

7. Let this get happy and warm for at 5-7 minutes, or until the tomatoes are melt-y (squishy? shriveled? I don't know the technical term) and the chicken stock has reduced significantly. You can squish some of the tomatoes down with your spatula, too, as this will help create a sort of sauce. It'll be more like a broth, but incredibly tasty.

8. Add the pan again, and let this get happy for another 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is heated again.

9. Make a bed of cous-cous on the plate, and then put the Tomato Garlic Chicken over the top. Make sure to add a spoonful or two of the delicious sauce-broth over all of it.

And then, if you're really feeling really nice to your husband, make him this for dessert.

But, no matter how much your husband wants to eat it, it has to sit in the freezer for a long time first.
Otherwise all the ice cream squishes out, and you get sad because it's not pretty anymore.
Also, if you really want to make him happy, use hot fudge instead of chocolate sauce.
