  • Quinoa
  • Couscous

This Recipe Can Be Made With Pork Chops-
If you prefer pork over chicken or happen to have pork chops on hand, this recipe works great for either type of meat. Use bone-in pork chops for extra flavor but boneless are also delicious. 
Broiling Meat-
This step is optional - Place choice of meat under the broiler for a couple minutes after it's cooked. This caramelizes the meat giving it extra flavor.
