Sweet Chili Lime Chicken Recipe with Cilantro Couscous

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed
• 1 pinch monosodium glutamate (such as Ac'cent®), or to taste
• 6 tablespoons soy sauce
• 6 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 lime, juiced and zested
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup couscous
• 0.33 cup chopped cilantro
• 4 wedges lime for garnish

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cubed chicken and sprinkle with monosodium glutamate. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside, approximately 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
2. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, lime zest (from 1 lime), lime juice (from 1 lime), and red pepper flakes. Stir until sugar dissolves, then add to the hot skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 to 4 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet and cook until the sauce coats the chicken evenly, stirring often, for 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Bring vegetable broth to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in couscous, remove from heat, and let stand until broth is fully absorbed, about 5 minutes. Stir in fresh cilantro.
4. Arrange couscous on a serving platter, then top with the sweet chili lime chicken and sauce. Squeeze fresh lime wedges over the couscous and chicken just before serving.
