Mediterranean Chicken Couscous


Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups low-sodium fat-free chicken broth
  • 1 (5.6-ounce) package toasted pine nut couscous mix
  • 3 cups chopped cooked chicken (about 1 rotisserie chicken)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1 (4-ounce) package crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Garnish: fresh basil leaves


Preparation

Heat broth and seasoning packet from couscous in the microwave on HIGH for 3 to 5 minutes or until broth begins to boil. Place couscous in a large bowl, and stir in broth mixture. Cover and let stand 5 minutes.

Fluff couscous with a fork; stir in chicken and next 6 ingredients. Serve warm or cold. Garnish, if desired.

Tip: You'll need to buy a 2/3-ounce package of fresh basil and 1 rotisserie chicken to get the right amount of basil and chicken for this recipe. Substitute 4 teaspoons of dried basil if you can't find fresh.
