Chicken And Spinach Couscous - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    olive oil, divided
    1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
    1 cup pine nuts
    1 pound fresh spinach, rinsed and patted dry
    8 ounces Israeli couscous
    1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
    2 tablespoons chopped parsley, or to taste
    1 pinch ground black pepper to taste
Preparation
    Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook chicken until no longer pink in the center but not browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a dish.
    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add pine nuts; cook and stir until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove pine nuts to another dish. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet; cook spinach until wilted, about 3 minutes. Transfer spinach to a separate dish.
    Heat 2 tablespoons oil in the same skillet. Add couscous; cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Pour in chicken broth; bring to a simmer. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until couscous is tender, about 12 minutes. Uncover; add parsley and pepper. Stir. Layer couscous, chicken, spinach, and pine nuts onto a plate in that order.
