Herbed Couscous Pilaf

I developed this one night when I was looking for something different to do with couscous. It's quick and easy and goes well with chicken, salmon, or pork.I use the Near East brand of quick couscous. If you use plain couscous, you may want to bump up the amount of herbs a little or use seasonings to your taste.
