Chicken:

I used chicken breast, seasoned with salt and pepper, seared in a bit of oil.

Took it out and let it rest while I made the rest.

Couscous:

Basic couscous, cooked in hot water, spiced it with ground cumin, coriander, paprika, cumin seeds, a cinnamon stick, salt and pepper. Let it cool a bit, forked it until fluffy.

Chopped a leftover hot pepper and some mint at the end, after it cooled down.

Salad:

Red onion, red bell pepper, tomato, kalamata olives, feta.

Dressed it with olive oil, lime juice, salt, pepper, and a bunch of fresh parsley.

Took canned chickpeas and roasted them a bit in the chicken pan, added them on top for some crunch.

Had some random stuffed peppers in the fridge so I chucked them in for colour.

I love chickpeas. Such a versatile ingredient.

Thank you!

Looks delicious and nutritious, I refuse to accept that as "fried chicken" though.

[–] beerclue@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (3 children)

It's chicken, fried in a pan :) how would you call it?

[–] cattywampas@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'd call that pan-seared or maybe pan-fried chicken. "The term "fried chicken" normally refers to chicken pieces that have been battered or breaded and deep fried.

[–] beerclue@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Fair enough. In my native tongue we don't really have different terms for all of those. I updated the title :)

[–] marron12@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I'd call it sauteed chicken. You could also call it pan-fried or pan-seared. Or pan-roasted, which can involve putting it in the oven. Fried chicken is this stuff, the kind that has breading and is deep fried.

Or how I usually say it when I'm talking to a friend: I just threw it in a pan and browned it on both sides.

Your picture looks good, makes me want tabouli.

This looks so good.
