Diana's Chicken Sandwich and Couscous

Hi ladies,

Several weeks ago I promised you the recipes to the chicken salad sandwiches and the couscous I made. Here they are. They're super easy so have fun! - Diana

Couscous

Ingredients:
couscous
1/2 cup red onion (chopped)
1 clove garlic (minced)
2 T olive oil
1 tomato (chopped)
1 cucumber (chopped)
additional seasonings to taste - salt, pepper, paprika, parsley, dill, rosemary, hot pepper

1. Prepare the couscous according to the directions on the package. However, instead of using water, substitute chicken broth. If you don't have chicken broth, add 2 T chicken bullion to the water. (This really makes all the difference when cooking the couscous. Otherwise it just turns out bland and boring).

2. After the couscous is done cooking add 1/2 cup chopped red onion, the minced garlic, and the olive oil to the pan. Grill the couscous on med-high for a few minutes. Then add the tomato and cucumber and other seasonings to taste. (You can put in whatever vegetables you like, and if I had had them I probably would have added bell peppers).
