from Ingredients:
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth |
1 1/4 cups uncooked couscous |
1 large sweet red pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces (i cut strips) |

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
12 ounces cooked chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces |
1/2 cup red wine vinegar |
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil or 1 1/2 teaspoons oregano |
Directions:
1. Bring broth to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the couscous. Cover and remove from the heat. Let stand 5 minutes.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 5 servings, 5 POINTS each.
5. The vinegar sounds strange, but it gives a nice Middle Eastern tang to the dish. Otherwise it would be pretty bland.
