mediterranean marvel: couscous stuffed chicken


i was just telling sis about this post and she goes, "more couscous? you are the only person i know who eats couscous". on that note, i promise to try experimenting with new sides dishes...but for today, we're sticking with the plan and couscous it is.

this recipe comes from guy fieri over at food network. i ended up doubling the sauce recipe because it just didn't seem like enough. i also forgot to add the butter, but ended up liking it without the extra calories. the sundried tomatoes and olives really jazz up the couscous - perfect balance of a salty and sweet bite.

don't have couscous on hand? any grain will do. quinoa would be a great substitute. i also secured the chicken with toothpicks to keep the stuffing from falling out.

the recipe is too long for this post, but you can head on over to food network to check it out.  eat up!
