  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf (Italian) parsley leaves
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves

Steps

  • 1
    In 4-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onions and salt; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until onions soften and begin to brown. Stir in garlic; cook 30 seconds. Stir in broth, chicken, couscous and roasted peppers; heat to boiling.
  • 2
    Reduce heat to low. Cover; cook 5 to 7 minutes or until couscous is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  • 3
    Stir in feta, parsley and thyme.

  • Instead of thyme, try using chopped fresh oregano or marjoram leaves in this chicken and couscous recipe.
  • Goat cheese is a nice substitute for feta in this roasted peppers couscous dish.
  • Prefer to roast your own red bell peppers? You’ll need about 1 cup of chopped peppers for this roasted peppers couscous recipe.
  • Cover and refrigerate leftovers; use within 3 days. This couscous dish makes a great cold lunch as well. If serving the couscous cold, consider spooning over mixed greens and drizzling with a little fresh lemon juice.
