For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in half of the sweet chili lime sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as bell peppers or broccoli, to the skillet along with the chicken. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro, but the flavor will be less intense. Use about 1 tablespoon of dried cilantro in place of 1/3 cup of fresh cilantro.

01 Step
Recipe View Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cubed chicken; sprinkle with MSG (if using). Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside, about 5-6 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
02 Step
Recipe View In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, lime zest, lime juice, and red pepper flakes until the sugar has dissolved. Pour the mixture into the now-empty skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until the sauce has slightly reduced and thickened, about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
03 Step
Recipe View Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Stir to coat the chicken evenly. Cook until the sauce is glossy and clings to the chicken, about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
04 Step
Recipe View While the chicken simmers, bring vegetable broth to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in the couscous, remove from heat, cover, and let stand until all the broth is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Fluff the couscous with a fork and stir in the chopped cilantro.
05 Step
Recipe View To serve, arrange the cilantro couscous on a platter or individual plates. Top with the sweet chili lime chicken and drizzle with the remaining sauce from the skillet. Garnish with lime wedges and serve immediately.
