Steps

1. 1

   Begin by washing the chicken breasts under running water and then drying them thoroughly using paper towels. Transfer the chicken breasts to a dish made of glass or a nonreactive material.

2. 2

   In a food processor with the steel blade attachment or a blender, blend together all the ingredients except for the couscous until they form a smooth puree. Pour this mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the chicken and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight for deeper flavor infusion.

3. 3

   Start by adjusting the oven racks, ensuring that the top rack sits 6 inches below the oven's ceiling. Preheat the oven to 400°F on convection roast setting. Line a shallow-rimmed baking pan with aluminum foil and apply a layer of nonstick spray.
