Couscous with Chicken & Salsa
Ingredients:
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, seasoned
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups fat-free chicken broth
1 1/2 cups couscous
1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced (2 cups)
1 yellow bell pepper, cut in bite-size pieces
1 cup thick and chunky salsa, heated
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese mixture
3/4 cup reduced fat sour cream
1/4 cup chopped green onions
Directions: Season chicken breasts as desired with salt, pepper, garlic salt, taco seasoning, etc.. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet; cook chicken over medium high heat, turning occasionally until browned and meat is cooked through (10 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness of meat). Remove chicken from skillet; cut into 1/2-inch strips; keep warm.

In medium saucepan, bring broth to a boil; stir in couscous. Remove from heat and cover. Let stand 5 minutes.

In the same skillet place zucchini and yellow pepper; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tender yet crisp, about 5 minutes.

Fluff couscous with a fork and place on large platter. Drizzle with 1/2 of salsa. Top with zucchini and peppers, then chicken. Sprinkle with cheese. Drizzle with remaining salsa. Top with dollops of sour cream and green onions.

Boy these recipes and the features on the site are just like allrecipes. But you can't scale the recipes or create a shopping list or have a recipe box.
