1 teaspoon garlic salt |
1 teaspoon ground coriander |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
8 (4-ounce) lamb loin chops, trimmed |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
3/4 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth |
1/4 cup fresh orange juice |
1/2 cup grated carrot |
2/3 cup uncooked couscous |
1/4 cup minced green onions |
cooking spray |

1. Prepare grill.
2. Combine paprika and next 4 ingredients in a small bowl; stir well to combine. Reserve 1 1/2 teaspoons spice mixture, and set aside.

4. Combine chicken broth, orange juice, carrot, and reserved 1 1/2 teaspoons spice mixture in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil. Stir in couscous and green onions. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Fluff mixture with a fork; keep warm.
