Instructions
Salsa
- Stir together all ingredients for salsa until well combined. Place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Chicken
- In a medium-sized bowl, stir together cornstarch and water. Add chicken and stir until cornstarch mixture is well incorporated into chicken. Let sit for 20 minutes.
- In a small bowl, stir together salt, pepper, coriander, all spice, cardamom, garlic, and cinnamon. After the chicken has set for 20 minutes, stir in with chicken until well incorporated.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and saute until chicken is cooked through, about 7 minutes.
Couscous
- In a small sauce pan, bring water and salt to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat, stir in couscous, and cover. Let sit for 10 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Fluff couscous with a fork and stir in olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, and thyme.
Serving
- Divide couscous among 5 bowls. Top each bowl with about 1/3 cup of arugula and about 3 tbsp of hummus (use desired amounts of both). Finally, divide chicken among the bowl and top each with salsa.
