Couscous is one of the staple foods of the Maghreb (western North Africa). I am always experimenting & combining it with different flavors. I watched a friend whip this up for our lunch one day & it became my new favorite. Ingredients:

1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil |
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar |

12 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed |
2 cups broccoli florets |
2 cups water |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 (10 ounce) package couscous, near east brand roasted garlic & olive oil flavor |
Directions:
1. In small bowl, stir salsa ingredients together. Season to taste with salt & pepper, set aside.
2. Bring water to a boil and stir in oil, couscous & seasoning packet from box.
3. Cover, remove from heat & let stand while you prepare the chicken.
