Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ teaspoon oregano dried
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes a pinch
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts sliced into ½ inch slices
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1 English cucumber diced
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • ½ cup Kalamata olives chopped
  • ½ cup feta cheese crumbled
Simple Yogurt Sauce
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon dill dried
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon water
  • Fresh oregano or dill for garnish

Method
 

  1. Add olive oil, water, oregano, paprika, red pepper flakes, and garlic to the Instant Pot. Stir to combine. Add sliced chicken and stir to coat.
  2. Close and lock the lid to the sealing position. Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes. After the cooking cycle, use a quick release to depressurize. Open the Instant Pot and transfer the chicken to a bowl or plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.
  3. Press cancel to turn off the Instant Pot. Add couscous, stir, then cover with the lid and let stand until soft, about 6 to 7 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, combine yogurt, garlic, dried dill, lemon juice, and water until well combined.
  5. Open the lid and fluff the couscous with a fork.
  6. Arrange chicken, couscous, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese in separate sections within a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and the yogurt sauce.
  7. Alternatively, layer the ingredients: start with yogurt sauce, then add couscous, chicken, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese. Top with a drizzle of olive oil and garnishes.

Notes

I used English, or seedless cucumber for the recipe, but you can use garden cucumbers if you prefer. I like English cucumbers because they have a soft skin and almost no seeds.
I use grape tomatoes, but any variety will work. Use what you prefer or have on hand.
