Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 1/4 cups uncooked couscous
1 large sweet red pepper, cut i nto 1 inch pieces (i cut strips)
1/2 cup sliced green onion (approximately 2 large)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
12 oz cooked chicken breasts , cut into 1 inch pieces
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tsp dried basil or 1 1/2 tsp oregano

Directions:

Bring broth to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the couscous. Cover and remove from the heat. Let stand 5 minutes.
While couscous cooks, combine red pepper and green onions in a bow. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave on High for 4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender. Drain and sprinkle with garlic powder.
Fluff couscous with a fork. Add couscous, chicken, vinegar and basil to the cooked vegetables. Toss well. Cover with the plastic wrap and microwave on High for 1 - 2 minutes or until heated. Toss again and serve immediately.
5 servings, 5 POINTS each.
The vinegar sounds strange, but it gives a nice Middle Eastern tang to the dish. Otherwise it would be pretty bland.
