Cranberry Couscous Chicken
Submitted By:recipe
Nutritionist ApprovedChefs notes
We substituted a delightful change-of-pace couscous for the small dinner roll that generally accompanies the Nutrisystem Grilled Chicken Breast. Although this is perfect any time of year, this hearty, satisfying dinner entrée is especially good when the air is crisp and cold. Feel free to substitute dried apricots or dried cherries for the cranberries. To make the dish even richer, prepare the couscous with low-sodium chicken broth instead of the water called for in the package directions.
