• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 5

Ingredients

• 1  cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1 1⁄4 cups  uncooked couscous
• 1  large  sweet red pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces (I cut strips)
• 1⁄2 cup  sliced green onion (approximately 2 large)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 12  ounces  cooked chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 1⁄2 cup red wine vinegar
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons dried basil or 1 1⁄2 teaspoons oregano

Directions

1. Bring broth to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the couscous. Cover and remove from the heat. Let stand 5 minutes.
2. While couscous cooks, combine red pepper and green onions in a bow. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave on High for 4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender. Drain and sprinkle with garlic powder.
3. Fluff couscous with a fork. Add couscous, chicken, vinegar and basil to the cooked vegetables. Toss well. Cover with the plastic wrap and microwave on High for 1 - 2 minutes or until heated. Toss again and serve immediately.
4. 5 servings, 5 POINTS each.
5. The vinegar sounds strange, but it gives a nice Middle Eastern tang to the dish. Otherwise it would be pretty bland.
