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.

Add chopped carrots, celery, and onions to hot olive oil in skillet.

Saute veggies until they are carmelized.

Add couscous to veggies.

Add chicken broth.

Cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 8-10 minutes, until chicken broth is absorbed.
