Ingredients

> 3/4 cup chopped mint, divided
> 8 cloves garlic
> 2 limes, juiced
> 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
> 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
> 1 (5.8 oz) box Nature's Promise® Pearled Couscous
> 1 (20 oz) can no-sugar-added pineapple chunks
> 1 cup diced tomatoes
> 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
> 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
> 1 jalapeno, finely chopped

Steps

1
To a blender, add ½ cup mint, the garlic, lime juice, and 2 tbsp oil. Purée until smooth. Pour marinade into a large resealable bag. Add the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Massage to fully coat. Refrigerate 20 min. or up to 4 hours.
2
Cook the couscous according to package directions. Chop pineapple chunks into bite-size pieces. In a medium bowl, combine the pineapple, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and remaining ¼ cup mint. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine and refrigerate until ready to serve.
3
Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. In a 12-inch skillet, heat remaining 1 tbsp oil on medium-high. Add chicken and cook 8–10 min., until golden and cooked through, turning halfway through. Top chicken with salsa and serve with couscous.
