Chicken Athena
- 1 12-ounce box "Fantastic" brand organic whole-wheat couscous
- 3 C water
- 1 bag fresh spinach
- 2 t minced garlic
- dry basil
- 1 1/2 C feta cheese
- 1 14-ounce can "DelMonte" brand stewed tomoatoes (original flavor, with celery, onions and green pepper)
- 1 1/2 C sliced cooked zuchinni
- 6 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless (enough to fill the pan in a single layer)
- A spray can of canola oil is also used.
- 1. Microwave couscous and water for 2 minutes in an ungreased 13 x 9 x 2" glass pan. (Microwave strentghs may vary. The cooked couscous should just absorb the water yet not look dried out.)
- 2. Remove from oven. Arrange spinach in pan, on top of couscous. Press leaves down slightly to keep them in the pan.
- 3. Crumble 1 cup feta over spinach. Arrange chicken breasts evenly on top of cheese.
- 4. Pour evenly over chicken: contents of tomato can, including juices.
- 5. Evenly distribute cooked zuchinni slices on top. Shake basil lightly over entire dish. Add garlic and remaining feta cheese.
- 6. Cover with foil and bake one hour in preheated 350 degree oven.
- 7. Uncover, spray lightly with canola oil. Turn heat up to 400 degrees and cook, uncovered for about ten more minutes (until slightly golden brown on top). Do not overcook! Should be nice and juicy, with chicken and tomato broth soaking down into the couscous.
- 8. Serve hot! Use wide spatula or large serving spoon to deliver layered helpings of chicken, couscous and vegetables.
