Instructions
- Mince the garlic and cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Do not rinse the chicken. Pat it dry and season with salt and pepper. Wash the board, knife, and your hands with soap and water before touching anything else.
- Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned and the thickest piece reaches 165°F (74°C), about 5-7 minutes. Transfer it to a clean bowl.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30-60 seconds. Pour in the broth and bring it to a simmer. Add the broccoli and cook until crisp-tender, about 4-5 minutes. Taste the broth and adjust the salt.
- Return the chicken to the saucepan, stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let stand until the couscous is tender, about 5 minutes. Taste for a tender texture and adjust the pepper.
