Ingredients
- 0.5 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder

Instructions

1
Mix rosemary, black pepper, salt, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, cardamom, and coriander together in a small bowl. Place chicken on a plate and season with spice mixture. Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat until it starts to shimmer, 2 to 3 minutes. Add seasoned chicken to the pan and cook, covered, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip chicken over and cook, uncovered, until browned on the outside and no longer pink on the inside, 5 to 6 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Squeeze lemon juice over chicken and allow to cool 5 minutes. Slice into strips.

Divide cooked couscous between 4 bowls. Top with cooked chicken, tzatziki sauce, broccoli, onion, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, parsley, and feta cheese. Serve immediately or store in airtight containers to reheat later.

This hearty beef stew is rich, satisfying, and packed with tender beef, lots of vegetables, and fragrant herbs.
Portobello Mushroom and Rice Stew
This dish is a tasty, rich combination of portobello mushrooms, veggies, and rice with wine broth, with a consistency reminiscent of risotto or stew. Perfect for a cool weather weeknight dinner! Also great for those looking to cut back on meat consumption. Mushrooms are a good source of protein, though if you are a meat lover, ground turkey would be a nice addition.

This is a variation of the shortbread cookie, with a few twists. I like to discover new things, and this is definitely worth tasting!
