Chicken:

I used chicken breast, seasoned with salt and pepper, seared in a bit of oil.

Took it out and let it rest while I made the rest.

Couscous:

Basic couscous, cooked in hot water, spiced it with ground cumin, coriander, paprika, cumin seeds, a cinnamon stick, salt and pepper. Let it cool a bit, forked it until fluffy.

Chopped a leftover hot pepper and some mint at the end, after it cooled down.

Salad:

Red onion, red bell pepper, tomato, kalamata olives, feta.

Dressed it with olive oil, lime juice, salt, pepper, and a bunch of fresh parsley.

Took canned chickpeas and roasted them a bit in the chicken pan, added them on top for some crunch.

Had some random stuffed peppers in the fridge so I chucked them in for colour.

        I’d call it sauteed chicken. You could also call it pan-fried or pan-seared. Or pan-roasted, which can involve putting it in the oven. Fried chicken is this stuff, the kind that has breading and is deep fried.

        Or how I usually say it when I’m talking to a friend: I just threw it in a pan and browned it on both sides.

        Your picture looks good, makes me want tabouli.

        I’d call that pan-seared or maybe pan-fried chicken. "The term “fried chicken” normally refers to chicken pieces that have been battered or breaded and deep fried.

          Fair enough. In my native tongue we don’t really have different terms for all of those. I updated the title :)
