1 Prepare the Ingredients
Lightly coat grill or grill pan with cooking spray. Preheat to medium-high heat. Peel onion and slice into 1/2" rounds. Zest lemon, halve, and juice. Stem and mince mint. Trim cucumber, quarter lengthwise, then cut into 1/4" pieces. Season both sides of chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and seasoning blend. Drizzle chicken with 1/4 tsp. olive oil.
-
2 Make the Couscous
Place couscous in a mixing bowl with a pinch of salt. Pour boiling water on top. Stir 10 seconds, cover, and set aside 10 minutes. Uncover and fluff. While couscous sits, grill onions.
-
3 Grill the Onions
Place onions on grill. Flip occasionally until charred, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Set aside.
-
4 Make the Vinaigrette
Combine honey, 2 tsp. lemon juice, mint (to taste), 2 tsp. olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Set aside to let flavors marry.
-
5 Grill the Chicken
Place chicken on grill. Cook undisturbed 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook until chicken is charred and reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 3-4 minutes. Remove from grill and rest 3 minutes. Don't worry if chicken becomes very charred; it's supposed to!
-
6 Finish the Dish
Finely chop onions. Add cucumbers and onions to couscous. Toss to combine. Serve chicken on a plate alongside couscous. Garnish couscous with lemon zest (to taste). Drizzle vinaigrette over chicken.
