Mediterranean Chicken and Couscous (5 Ww Points)
- Ready In:
- 35mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Serves:
-
5
ingredients
- 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 1⁄4 cups uncooked couscous
- 1 large sweet red pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces (I cut strips)
- 1⁄2 cup sliced green onion (approximately 2 large)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 12 ounces cooked chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1⁄2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons dried basil or 1 1/2 teaspoons oregano
directions
- Bring broth to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the couscous. Cover and remove from the heat. Let stand 5 minutes.
- While couscous cooks, combine red pepper and green onions in a bow. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave on High for 4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender. Drain and sprinkle with garlic powder.
- Fluff couscous with a fork. Add couscous, chicken, vinegar and basil to the cooked vegetables. Toss well. Cover with the plastic wrap and microwave on High for 1 - 2 minutes or until heated. Toss again and serve immediately.
- 5 servings, 5 POINTS each.
- The vinegar sounds strange, but it gives a nice Middle Eastern tang to the dish. Otherwise it would be pretty bland.
