Healthy Firehouse meals

The middle shift of last tour was my turn to cook yet again. Drawing from several sources I had planned to cook the following meal

Moroccan Chicken

Well, so much for the best laid plans. We had the Large Area Search drill that morning and were fairly busy throughout the day. The meal ended up being scaled down to the Moroccan Chicken, green beans sauteed with garlic, cherry tomatoes and fresh basil, whole wheat couscous and french bread. All in all it took about an hour and a half to prepare this meal for 10 people. The chicken is incredibly easy to prepare, and once it's been pounded flat, cooks very quickly. The couscous takes about 5-10 minutes as do the green beans.

Filled a whole, made a turd, and I get to mark my name off the cooking list for another month.
