Preparation
Start the bake
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with ½ the spices and S&P. In a large, high-sided, oven-safe pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the chicken and cook, 2 to 3 min. on one side, until partially cooked. Add the tomatoes, garlic, couscous, 2 cups water (double for 4 portions), the demi-glace, vinegar (start with ½), remaining spices and S&P; stir well.
Finish the bake & serve
Medium-dice 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions). Transfer the pan to the oven and bake, 20 to 22 min., until the couscous is tender and the chicken* is cooked through. Remove from the oven and transfer the chicken to a cutting board. To the pan of couscous, add the spinach, butter and S&P; stir well. Divide the couscous between your plates. Top with the chicken (slice beforehand if desired). Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
