HelloHero: Chicken & Pearl Couscous Bowl

with Cucumber Salsa & Aioli

The Mediterranean has some very fresh dishes that leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. We’re taking a page out of their recipe book and creating a pearl couscous bowl studded with baby leaves, topped with zesty seared chicken and served with a cooling aioli for that pop of garlic we know and love.

This recipe is under 650kcal per serving and under 40g carbohydrates per serving.

We’ve replaced the freekeh in this recipe with pearl couscous due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!
