Directions

1. For the chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to taste.

2. For the piri piri sauce: In a blender, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, chiles, bell pepper, garlic, smoked paprika, and salt and puree until smooth.

3. For the couscous: In a medium saucepan, bring the broth and olive oil to a boil over high heat. Add the couscous, cover, and remove the pan from the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes, then lightly fluff with a fork.

4. For the chopped salad: In a medium bowl, combine the cucumber, tomatoes, onion, lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, salt, and pepper to taste.

5. Preheat a grill to high. Lightly rub the grates with oil.

6. Thread the chicken onto 4 metal skewers. Grill the chicken until browned on the edges and no longer pink in the center, about 3 minutes per side.

7. To serve, place a generous 3/4 cup couscous in each of 4 bowls. Top with 3/4 cup of the salad and 1 chicken skewer. Garnish with the parsley. Serve with the piri piri sauce on the side for dipping.
