- For the Roasted Potatoes:

- For the Pearl Couscous Greek Salad:
- 1 bag Success® Boil-in-Bag Pearl Couscous
- 2 cups chopped lettuce (romaine or mixed greens)
- ½ cup shredded purple cabbage
- ¼ cup shredded carrots
- ½ cup diced cucumber
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- ¼ cup diced bell pepper (any color)
- ¼ cup sliced radish
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar (or lemon juice)
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Couscous
Prepare one bag of Success® Pearl Couscous according to package directions (boil for 7–10 minutes). Drain, fluff with a fork, and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 1 hour for extra flavor).
Step 3: Grill the Chicken:
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and nicely charred. Remove and let rest before slicing.
Step 4: Roast the Potatoes
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown. Garnish with parsley.
Step 5: Assemble the Greek Salad
In a large bowl, combine lettuce, cabbage, carrots, cucumber, onion, bell pepper, and radish. Add the cooked Success® Pearl Couscous and feta cheese. Drizzle with olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
