Place couscous in a medium, heat-proof bowl. Add boiling water and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover.
- Let stand for 5 minutes or until liquid has been absorbed. Fluff couscous with a fork to separate grains.
Add 2 tablespoons of the pesto. Toss to combine and set aside.
Pound the thicker end of the chicken to make both sides leveled out so they cook evenly.
Spritz with oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper.
Heat a grill or grill pan on medium-high heat.
Spritz the zucchini and tomato all over with olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
- Cook zucchini, in batches, for 2 to 3 minutes each side or until tender. Transfer to a baking sheet. Cover to keep warm.
- Add tomato to the grill. Cook, turning, for 1 to 2 minutes or until softened.
- Cook the chicken 3 to 4 minutes each side or until browned and cooked through. Slice.
Divide couscous between 4 plates, 3/4 cup each.
Top with vegetables and chicken. Drizzle with remaining pesto. Serve.
