September’s Recipe of the Month

You’re going to LOVE September’s Recipe of the Month: One Pan Creamy Thai-Inspired Peanut Chicken Couscous! This incredible one pan meal is filled with cozy flavors, protein, and gorgeous veggies. It’s truly perfect for meal prep!

We have many different ways that you can customize this meal to truly make it your own. Check them out below and, of course, read through the recipe blog post itself for all of the tips you’ll need:

  • Make it vegetarian or vegan. Feel free to swap the chicken for chickpeas or tofu to keep this dish vegetarian.
  • Change up your veggies. This Thai chicken couscous is great for customizing with what you have on hand. I think spinach and/or mushrooms would be delicious.
  • Add a kick of heat. If you love spice like me feel free to add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or a little more) to the peanut couscous. Yum!

Here’s how the Recipe of the Month works

  1. The recipe: on the first Wednesday of each month we’ll share a reader-favorite Ambitious Kitchen recipe to make that month. You have the entire month to make the recipe!
  2. The giveaway: When you make the recipe (anytime during the month!) you have two different ways to enter to win a Made In Non Stick Frying Pan. We’ll randomly select a winner at the end of the month. See below for the two ways to share! Must be 18 years or older, USA & Canada only.

Two ways to enter the giveaway
