Ingredients

4 servings

•

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
•

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste

•

1 lime, juiced and zested
•

2 cups vegetable broth
•

1 cup couscous
•

⅓ cup chopped cilantro
•

4 wedges lime for garnish

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chicken breast cubes in the hot oil until the juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink inside, 5 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle chicken with monosodium glutamate as it cooks. Remove chicken from skillet.
Mix soy sauce, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, lime juice, and lime zest in a bowl, stirring to dissolve sugar. Pour sauce into hot skillet, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce begins to reduce slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Mix cooked chicken into sauce and cook until sauce forms a glaze on chicken pieces, about 2 to 3 more minutes, stirring often.
Bring vegetable broth to a boil in a saucepan. Stir couscous into vegetable broth, turn off the heat, and let couscous stand until broth is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Stir cilantro into couscous.
Arrange couscous onto a serving platter, top with chicken and sauce, and serve with lime wedges. Squeeze lime wedges over couscous and chicken before serving.
