Today's Tidbit: Healthy Couscous and Chicken

Healthy Couscous and Chicken

1 cup thinly sliced carrots

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, cut into strips with scissors

1 cup whole-wheat couscous

2 cups chopped cooked chicken

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add carrots and sun-dried tomatoes, cover and cook until vegetables soften, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add couscous, cover and remove from heat for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork.

If you're using refrigerated chicken, stir the chicken in with the couscous and set aside, covered, for 1 minute to warm the chicken. Then divide the couscous on serving plates and top with feta.

If you're using warm rotisserie chicken, divide the couscous first, and then top with chicken and feta.
