Ingredients

1 cup chicken broth

1/4 tsp. salt (I usually use only if using my homemade chicken broth - canned is usually salty enough)

2 tbsp. olive oil

3/4 cup couscous, regular or whole wheat

1 tbsp. freshly grated lemon zest

2 tbsp. fresh chives, finely snipped

1 tbsp. lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Chopped scallions (optional)

Directions

In a medium saucepan, bring chicken broth, salt and olive oil to a boil.

Stir in couscous, lemon zest and chives.

Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

Fluff with a fork and add lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Garnish with chopped scallions, if desired.

We love couscous and this sounds like a very light and refreshing various that would go great alongside chicken. Great post and a high 5.

This recipe is wonderful! I loved the blend of flavors; the lemon added such a delicious flavor. I will be making this again! I used half whole wheat couscous and half regular, and dried chives instead of fresh, because I didn't have any. I am going to post a picture right now; thanks for the great recipe!

I made this today for a ladies lunch. I'm not a big fan of couscous (boring) but this was excellent. I give you 5 yums. Served it with baked chicken and articoke.
