Instructions

Add oil to a large dutch oven or pot and preheat over medium high heat. Once hot, add in onion, carrots, celery, garlic and a generous pinch of salt. Cook for a few minutes until softened.
Add chicken breasts, couscous, pour the broth, bring to a simmer and cook for about 20-25 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked (that will depend on thickness of the breasts).
Remove the chicken, place on the cutting board and cut up in small pieces or shred using two forks. Add the chicken back in the pot along with artichokes, fresh dill, lemon juice and zest. Season with salt and black pepper if necessary. Enjoy immediately or store in airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for 5 months.
