THESE MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN AND COUSCOUS BOWLS ARE ENDLESSLY ADAPTABLE



These Mediterranean Chicken and Couscous Bowls Are Endlessly Adaptable image

These quick chicken-and-veggie bowls are endlessly adaptable depending on what you have on hand. Beyond cucumber and tomato, you could try thinly sliced carrots, steamed broccoli florets and zucchini, or roasted cauliflower. You could also sub flaked salmon or sliced cooked lamb for the chicken. Treat the couscous like pasta, simmering until tender and then draining. Unlike most pastas, you'll want to rinse and drain the couscous so the grains don't clump together.

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN COUSCOUS



Mediterranean Chicken Couscous image

From January 2006 Southern Living. We had this for dinner last night. At first taste, I thought it was just okay; by the time I got it to the table, though, it tasted really good. I had the leftovers cold for lunch today, and it was just as good as last night. I used about 2 oz of feta, and I used a deli-roasted chicken.

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN AND COUSCOUS



Mediterranean Chicken and Couscous image

From a Near East booklet. A fairly easy gourmet tasting dish. We thought the pine nuts were bitter, which was disappointing since they are so expensive. I'll leave them out next time I make the dish.
