Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/4 cups low-sodium fat-free chicken broth
1 (5.6-oz) package toasted pine nut couscous mix
3 cups chopped cooked chicken
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1 (4-oz) package crumbled feta cheese
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp grated lemon rind
1/4 tsp pepper
garnish: fresh basil leaves

Directions:

Heat broth and seasoning packet from couscous in the microwave on HIGH for 3 to 5 minutes or until broth begins to boil. Place couscous in a large bowl, and stir in broth mixture. Cover and let stand 5 minutes.
Fluff couscous with a fork; stir in chicken and next 6 ingredients. Serve warm or cold. Garnish, if desired.
Tip: You'll need to buy a 2/3-ounce package of fresh basil and 1 rotisserie chicken to get the right amount of basil and chicken for this recipe. Substitute 4 teaspoons of dried basil if you can't find fresh.
