 Ingredients List

  • 3 chicken breasts
  • 2 cups couscous
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic, chopped
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 Tablespoons parsley, chopped
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil

 Directions

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place in heated skillet for 2 minutes per side. Add garlic and saute for an additional minute. Remove from heat. In a medium baking dish, place couscous with chicken broth, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste.

Place chicken breasts on top of couscous mixture. Sprinkle with parsley and zest the lemon over dish. Place in oven for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
We served with additional lemon wedges. Donna Hay's version has capers and olives mixed in with the chicken and couscous, but my husband isn't a big olive fan so we did without.
