Italian Chicken Couscous

Italian Chicken Couscous

Here is a satisfying chicken recipe that adds a little pasta to the mix. It really is quite easy to make.

  • 2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
  • 1 Cup Italian Dressing
  • 1 Cup Couscous Pasta
  • 1 Chicken Bouillon Cube
  • 1 Tbs. Butter
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 Cup Veggies (Freeze-Dried for Backpackers)

Place Chicken Breasts in a ziplock bag. Cover with Italian Dressing, and let marinate for 45 minutes to an hour in the cooler. Backpackers can use Canned Chicken or the new Chicken in a Pouch (no refrigeration required until opened). Fry the marinated chicken in a frying pan with oil or butter or you can grill the chicken breasts, too.  Add the veggies (if using freeze-dried vegetables be sure to rehydrate them first) of your choice, the butter, the Italian seasoning, and the bouillon cube to 1.5 Cups of water. Bring to a boil and then add the Couscous. Bring back to a boil, and remove from heat.  Cut the Chicken Breasts into cubes and serve over the Couscous. Enjoy.
