Ingredients

  • 1 package (10 ounces) couscous
  • 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps

  • 2
    Heat oil in 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken in oil 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Serve with a crisp romaine salad tossed with ripe olives and Italian dressing.
  • tip 2
    Shave fresh Parmesan cheese over the couscous, instead of sprinkling with grated cheese, and garnish with fresh, whole oregano leaves.
  • tip 3
    Couscous is a granular form of pasta, but it is often used like a grain such as rice. Couscous cooks in 5 minutes—perfect for meals when you are pressed for time.
