Here is how you make Million Veggie Couscous with Chicken:

Makes 6 generous servings- intended as a single-dish meal. 1. Cut up chicken into bite size pieces. Add Kosher salt, fresh gound black pepper and garlic powder to taste. Bake at 350 degrees until chicken is fully cooked. 2. While the chicken is baking, chop up all your vegetables into smaller-than-bite-size pieces. I like to essentially dice all my veggies so that each bite can include a variety of veggies.3. Bring 1 cup of water or broth (I like to use tomato broth) to a boil. Before the water comes to a boil, add spices to taste. I like to add red pepper flakes and just a bit of cinnamon. 4. Add 1 cup couscous to boiling water and stir quickly. Removev from heat and allow to sit for no more than 4 minutes or so. Transfer to a much larger pot. 5. Add in baked chicken, veggies, and any other desired ingredients. 6. Add a little bit of olive oil and more water or broth as needed to keep the couscous moist. 7. Place the (new, larger) pot over very low heat and mix all the ingredients well.8. Season to taste and enjoy. I enjoy homemade tzatziki with this dish. *The vegetables, etc. suggested in this recipe are just that- suggestions only. I find that "Million Veggie Couscous" is a great way to use up small amounts of fresh or frozen vegetables, and nearly any will do quite well. I like to add a lot of green vegetables, as well as red veggies, dried fruits and nuts, etc. to add a diversity of tastes and textures while also making for a colorful and asthetically pleasing dish. The above cooking instructions are mearely guidelines and should be modified to suit your own tastes and dietary needs.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JOYMARIEW.
