Greek Traditional Chicken Couscous Kokkinisto
  1. Into a large skillet or pan sauté the chicken until browned.

  2. Remove and sauté the onions and the garlic until sweat.

  3. Add the tomato paste and cook for 5 mins by stirring.

  4. Then add the diced tomatoes, the salt and the pepper, the parsley and let cook for another 5 minutes.

  5. Add the 2 cups of water, add the chicken and the tomato sauce into an oven pan/casserole and bake into a preheated oven at 400F (200C) for about 30 minutes.

  6. Add the couscous and the extra 4 cups of water into the pan, mix well so the couscous is evenly spread and bake another 15-20 additional minutes.

  7. Take out of the oven before all the juices/liquids are absorbed (we need some liquid).

  8. Extra tip: add a few ice cubes over the couscous to stop immediately the cooking process and mix.

  9. Serve and enjoy with freshly grated kefalograviera, Greek horiatiki salad and freshly baked bread.
