Couscous Chicken

Hi all,

I wanted to make a dish using a non-traditional pasta to show the versatility of pastas available. Therefore, I chose Couscous. Couscous is a coarsely ground semolina pasta that is a dietary staple in North American countries. It is also widely used in Middle Eastern countries and has become popular in American dishes. It is made of semolina, flour, salt, and water. Similar to rice in shape, color, and texture, it is used in many dishes as rice would be. A grain of couscous is similar in size to a grain of sugar.

It is most often served with meat (chicken), lamb and vegetables. Everyone seasons couscous differently and there are many varieties of pre-seasoned couscous at the supermarket. Be sure to check the sodium content when selecting a pre-seasoned couscous. It can usually be found with the rice or pasta in the grocery store. I found it with the rice on the top shelf.
