For the Chicken:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  

• 3 tablespoons Colavita Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
  

• 2 tablespoons honey
  

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
  

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

For the Herbed Couscous:

Instructions

1. Make the Balsamic Glaze

In a bowl, combine Colavita Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

2. Cook the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then sear on both sides until golden brown (4–5 minutes per side).
Lower heat, pour the balsamic glaze over the chicken, and simmer for 5–7 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.

3. Prepare the Couscous

Bring vegetable broth to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in couscous, olive oil, cumin, lemon zest, and salt. Cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and stir in parsley.
