Some like it hot.

Chipotle Agave Glazed Chicken with Herbed Israili Couscous and Cheesacon Corn


Looks pretty un-assuming and harmless right?  Be warned!  This was an easy meal that Blake helped me put together last night.  He's such a good baster!  Cook your couscous according to package instructions.  I always swap out low sodium chicken broth for water to add extra flavor and depth.  When it was done cooking I added in the zest and juice of a lemon, some fresh ground pepper, and some cilantro.  It perfectly cut the heat of the chicken.  For the corn I used frozen corn, added a tablespoon of butter, bacon salt (you read correctly) and fresh ground pepper.  Hot out of the pan I added some sharp cheddar cheese to the top and it was good to go.  The chicken was baked with a mixture of adobo sauce and agave syrup.  Add a little salt, pepper, and garlic to the marinade and baste every 10 minutes while your chicken is in the oven (350 for 25-30 minutes).  At the end use the pan juices to top your chicken and add some extra kick to your plated meal.  That's all she wrote!  Super simple, nutritious, and yummy in the tummy.
