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.
