Bowl with couscous, chicken, mushrooms and bell peppers - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, quinoa is a great gluten-free alternative. Cook it according to package instructions and use it in place of couscous for a nuttier flavor and added protein.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water to refresh the couscous.
For a vegetarian option, try using tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas. Press and pan-fry tofu for a similar texture, or toss chickpeas with the same spices as the chicken.
While you can freeze it, the couscous may become slightly mushy upon thawing. For best results, freeze the chicken and mushroom mixture separately and prepare fresh couscous when ready to serve.
Add red pepper flakes, harissa paste, or diced jalapeños when cooking the chicken or mushrooms. A dash of hot sauce at the end also works well.
Serve with a simple green salad, warm pita bread, or roasted vegetables. A drizzle of tahini or yogurt sauce adds extra creaminess.
Yes, frozen veggies work in a pinch. Thaw and drain them well, then briefly sauté with the mushrooms to remove excess moisture.
Scale up the recipe linearly for more servings. Store individual portions in meal prep containers, keeping dressings or sauces separate to maintain texture.
