Chicken and Israeli Couscous Skillet Dinner

September 30, 2012 by Mom on the Make Leave a Comment

I just made this recipe two nights ago and absolutely love it.

It is so easy, so healthy, and absolutely delicious.

The use of Rotisserie chicken for your chicken pieces, I believe is key.  Rotisserie chickens from the grocery store are so moist and flavorful, and make this dish even easier to make.  We love that!

I also had never made a recipe utilizing Israeli couscous before, and let me just tell you that I have definitely been missing out.  This type of couscous is like a tiny circular piece of pasta, and is also referred to as “pearl” couscous.
