From the Test Kitchen

In this fresh, hearty spin on the classic Greek street food favorite, fluffy couscous combines with crisp veggies to create the vibrant base for our za’atar-spiced chicken and onion. It’s all brought together with a drizzle of creamy lemon yogurt, plus a garnish of crunchy almonds.
