Tasty Tuesday – Chicken Couscous

Welcome to another week of Tasty Tuesday here at The Young'ns!

Please link up your recipe at the bottom of the page. You can post a link to a recipe on your blog or anywhere else. In the title of your link, please leave your name too (especially if it's not a blog post) so I know who it came from :)

Also, feel free to grab my Tasty Tuesday button, it's on the right side, just under my spiffy new tabbed box.

I accidentally just deleted this entire post, darn it. I’m going to try and recreate it from memory, that’s a little scary.

Okay, so I created this recipe out of necessity. We were hungry for something that was simple and a whole meal, i.e. protein, veggies, and a simple carb. Here’s what I came up with out of ingredients I had on hand.

{Ingredients}

• 2-3 chicken breasts, thawed
• 1/4 cup Italian dressing
• 2 cups broccoli
• 3/4 cup chicken broth
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 3/4 cup couscous
• 1/2 cup cheddar cheese

{Directions}

• Cube chicken and cook in skillet with Italian dressing
• While chicken is cooking, steam broccoli in separate pan
• After the broccoli is started, mix broth and lemon juice in a pot and bring to a boil.
• Add couscous, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Fluff couscous with fork. Add chicken and broccoli, stir to combine.
• Serve with cheese on top.

Whew! I think that’s it. I’m learning how to use Windows Live Writer and something happened that I wasn’t expecting. Oh well, I think I figured it out. Won’t make that particular mistake again :)
