Skillet recipes are not only great for busy days but also for hot summer days too. We eat skillet and grilled meals more often when it’s hot in the summer. This chicken vegetable couscous dish is one of our favorites.

I’ve made this skillet dish quite a few times. It always turns out great and is so quick to make too. Which is nice on those busy summer days or any busy day for that matter.

But if you don’t have any cooked chicken, you could use a rotisserie chicken from the store too. Costco usually has them at a good price. Just take the chicken off the bone and use it in this dish. Another great option would be to stock up on canned chicken it would work well in this dish too.

You don’t have to use broccoli and sugar snap peas as the vegetables in this dish. You can use any vegetables you would like. I used the broccoli and sugar snap peas because that’s what I had on hand. But the dish would be great with asparagus or maybe celery too.

What your favorite recipe to make during the summer months?

  1. Hi! Looks yummy. Do I need to cook the couscous separately first and then add in to skillet or does it need to be uncooked when added in skillet?
    Thanks!
