Great easy and flavorful dish! I made the chicken and couscous for 2, but made the entire recipe of veggies and sauce (we love those veggies!). I used lemon pepper instead of salt and pepper on the chicken when I sauteed it. Quick to make, healthy, tasty - can't beat that - thanks for sharing the recipe!
