Healthy Hearty Chicken Skewers with Whole Wheat Lime Couscous

Skewers
2 Chicken breasts
1 Zucchini
10 Bell Peppers
1/2 big red Onion

Marinade
1.5 cup fat free Greek Yogurt
2 tablespoons peeled minced Ginger
2 tablespoons Honey
1 clove Garlic (minced)
3 teaspoons Curry powder
2 tablespoons fresh Lime juice
Salt and pepper

Couscous
2 Shallots
1 teaspoon Lime Zest
Whole wheat Couscous
Low sodium Vegetable broth

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together garlic, yogurt, ginger, honey, curry powder, 1.5 tablespoon lime juice, pepper and salt. Reserve 1 cup yogurt mixture for serving.

2. Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. To marinate, add yogurt mixture, press air out of bag and seal. Turn to coat chicken; refrigerate min 1h.

3. Cut the vegetables in big pieces.

4. Line the bottom of an oven pan with foil and coat with cooking spray. Thread chicken and vegetables onto skewers and place on prepared pan; discard remaining marinade. Bake until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes on each side.

5. Chop the shallots and cook in a saucepan on a medium heat. When soft add broth to the shallots (follow the instructions for the couscous on the packet, swap water for vegetable broth) when it boils reduce the heat and bring to a simmer, add the couscous. Cover, remove from heat and let sit until liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Add lime zest and remaining lime juice and fluff with a fork.

6. Serve couscous with chicken skewers and reserved yogurt mixture.
