Chicken with Onions, Lentils and Couscous Recipe
Chicken with Onions, Lentils and Couscous

Adapted from a Rachel Ray recipe. Hers was made with chicken legs - roasted with the skin on. This one uses skinless/boneless chicken breast so you can cook it all on your cooktop instead of the oven - and I use less olive oil. I used Isreali Couscous (I don't know if there is a difference) - it was the first time my family tried Couscous and they all loved it!

Stir into the lentil mixture along with any pan juices left over (I've added a little water to the pan to get the 'tasty' stuff off of the bottom). 5.
