Hi, friends! Happy Hump Day! 
I made a delicious lunch today and just wanted to share the recipe with you guys. It was delicious, satisfying, quick, easy, and made in just one pot. Love that!
This recipe only calls for 6 ingredients:
- 1 cup chopped spinach (frozen or fresh)
- 1.5 cups chunked chicken
- 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (or cow’s milk)
- 4 wedges of The Laughing Cow Light French Onion
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup uncooked pearl/Israeli couscous (regular couscous or quinoa would probably work too)
Directions: Cook pearl/Israeli couscous as instructed by directions on package in a large pot on the stove top. When it is finished cooking, add the wedges of cheese, spinach, milk, garlic powder, and chicken to the pot while it is still hot. Mix well. Serve immediately.
Mmm! This dish turned out so well, and it would definitely make great leftovers. You could easily make it for dinner one night and then save half for lunch the next day. Easy-peasy.
Question of the Day
What’s for dinner tonight?

Cheese and wine at a drink and paint party! Weee!
This recipe looks delish!
Fun! Enjoy! 🙂
LOVE one-pot-meals. It’s so easy. I would take the chicken out of the recipe and it sounds amazing!
I am being lazy and buying supper out, thinking Greek!
Does that recipe make one serving or two? It seems like a huge serving since cous cous usually doubles once it’s cooked. I’m definitely making that soon! I love your simple ingredient recipes!
I guess it depends how much you eat! 🙂 It will probably end up being 2 servings for me.
For dinner tonight? Two words: Olive. Garden. 😀
We’ve got a giant Costco bag of couscous I’ve been wanting to work through – now I’m inspired to do just that. I’m thinking toss in some onions and switch to the chipotle Laughing Cow…Mexican couscous!
I’ve never has couscous! I need to try this.
@Michelle: I’ve never had couscous! I need to try this.
Had** oops 🙁
I have a hard time getting into cous cous, although that looks quite delicious!
Sadly I can’t have cous-cous as it’s not gluten-free. However, I’ll bet this would be awesome with quinoa as you suggested, or rice. Even spaghetti squash would work here!
Tonight I’m making Greek chicken, lemon and spinach soup and prepping a few recipes for my blog for the week.
This dish looks so yummy!! I really can’t wait to try it! Tonights dinner is turkey sausage with pepers and onions and sweet potatoes!

Mmm..this looks good! Will be trying!
Mking tomorrow night!
Making tomorrow night. I wonder if it would be as good if you used qunioa?
Made a vegan cheesy millet dish the other day…these sorts of meals are so comforting…isn’t Bob just the best 🙂
I love easy-to-make recipes with only a few ingredients! I am craving homemade pizza so that may be the menu item tonight 🙂
I stuck a roast in the oven over lunch, looking forward to my own one-pot dinner waiting for me at home 😉
p.s. I really like your pot! Kind of a weird comment I know.
I have pretty much the busiest day ever, but I’m going to grab salad from one of my favorite restaurants between meetings: spinach + romaine, raisins, red peppers, cucumbers, mushrooms, egg, turkey, and raspberry vinaigrette. Mmm…
Looks fresh and tasty!
I’m going to broil tofu and eat with veggies and a sweet potato. I haven’t had tofu in ages and thought I’d give it another try once in a while.
I’m browsing blog for dinner inspiration right now… I’m thinking sauteed chicken as a topping on flax bread pizzas.
Oh my! Well, wouldn’t that be amazing! Tonight we are having leftover RIBS and oh am I ever excited!
That looks so yummy! Just looking at it made me hungry. I will have to try it when my hubby is out of town – I can’t get him to eat couscous. 🙂
I think it’s a little strange that you keep using the Laughing Cow wedges for cooking. I guess I only think of them as individually wrapped snack things, rather than a cooking ingredient.
Is this a sponsored post?
Nope! If it was a sponsored post, there would have been a disclaimer/wording that said it was a sponsored post! 🙂
Ewww, the laughing cow cheese tastes like chemicals to me, can you suggest a substitute? Thanks!
Sure!
Last night I had a taco stuffed mushroom. Tonight, I’m having sweet potato and black bean pockets with a nice salad 😀
My friend cooked me Moroccan lamb tagine 🙂
We’re having the Mexican turkey quinoa skillet you posted last year. 🙂
Yum! Love that recipe! I totally forgot about it. Must bring it back. Enjoy it!
Yum! Couscous is NOT eaten enough in my household, and it totally needs to be! Tonight for dinner, we’re having some baked chicken, along with a big ol’ salad 🙂
Your recipe looks delicious. I’m a great fan of one pot meals, too.
Looks SO yummy and simple! Pinterest time!!

Steak, roasted brussel sprouts drizzled with a homemade roasted red pepper sauce, and sweet potato. Drizzled with sriracha sauce of course! Have a great night!
Ive never made couscous but im sure it would be good with quinoa! Tonight I made my own “chipotle bowl” with cilantro lime brown rice, chicken, asiago cheese and lettuce. yum
That sounds awesome!!
I love one pot meals and yours looks and sounds incredible!!
I dont know why, but the words “chunked chicken” always give me the willies! Ha! Besides that, the recipe sounds awesome!
Pearl couscous looks so cute. Tonight was going to be pumpkin & goat cheese risotto, but now I think I’ll save that meal for tomorrow when we visit the in-laws. Can Easter cookies count as dinner 😉
Girl, I have been following your blog since god knows when.. 2005? You know this. Ever since you started Cross Fit, your recipes have been AWESOME. I am literally obsessed. From the cheesy Brussels sprouts an leeks, to the coconut pancakes, chocolate chip paleo cookies, avocado chicken salad, that recent chicken sausage dish, and now this cheesy cous cous salad!? I know it is not all Paleo, but is is all so BALANCED, and delicious. Please don’t stop! haha Thanks 😀
Aww, thanks, lady! 🙂
Mushroom risotto and coleslaw – using up leftovers!
made home made lentil soup with lots of veggies and brown rice, it was a keeper
I have couscous, so I’m making this.
This sounds amazingly delicious and SUPER easy to make! Seriously, how versatile are the Laughing Cow cheese wedges! I am still waiting to hear what kind of work you are doing with them! 😉
This looks delicious! I’m sure the Laughing Cow makes it super creamy! Yum!
Yum!! I’ve done this with quinoa, but I love the idea of doing it with couscous! You should try The Laughing Cow swiss or mozzarella, sun-dried tomato & basil + marinara + quinoa…tastes like lasagna! 🙂
Taco salad with tons of guac!
Looks yummy!! What exactly is couscous though? I have never had it, but I love trying new, healthy foods!
Hi Tina,
What is couscous? I have never tried this food item before. Is it commonly available in the supermarket?

Another yummy dish from carrotsncake! Making all your readers drool over your dishes.
Yum this looks great and so simple too!
I’m sorry, but I’m so confused about your gut problems! You seemed to cut out cheese and most wheat, going primarily gluten free for quite awhile, and now you seem to be back on cheese and more wheat based carbs? Am I missing something? LOL! Sorry- just confused. What is the status of your issues? I have issues of my own and was following for feedback but I can’t seem to follow…you’ve lost me!
I’ve never really cut out anything. I’ve been eating dairy, gluten, and drinking booze all along. I tried some gluten-free products because most are rice-based and low-residue, which agree with my digestive system better than those with gluten and fiber.
I have an autoimmune disease (my body attacks itself), so it’s not the food that I eat that causes the disease. When I’m having a flare, certain foods make things worse, but when I’m well (like I am now), nothing really upsets my system.
I guess that would also work without the chicken for vegetarians like me, I will give it a try! 🙂
that looks so satisfying and protein-packed! israeli couscous is where it’s at. 🙂 p.s. new to your blog and i love it!
Man, I wish they would start selling those special flavoured Laughing Cow cheese wedges in Holland too! They sound so good!!
