Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preparing the chicken breasts. Trim any tenderloins and slice the breasts into even pieces.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine low-fat Greek yogurt, mild curry powder, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
  3. Coat the chicken pieces generously with the yogurt mixture. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. While the chicken is marinating, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, lime juice, sumac, and a pinch of salt for the salad.
  5. Prepare the couscous according to package directions, typically by boiling water and adding couscous.
  6. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for 6 to 10 minutes on each side.
  7. After the chicken has rested for a few minutes, slice it and serve alongside couscous and salad.
