Mediterranean Chicken Cous Cous Salad

This is one of our favorite recipes! It's a one-dish meal and healthy, so I really love it! I found it in Southern Living and we have enjoyed it ever since. It's so easy and if you use a rotisserie chicken, it's ready in only about 15 or 20 minutes.

If you haven't tried couscous, it's definitely worth a try. Cous Cous is basically little pearls of pasta and it is so yummy!

My whole family eats this, even Big Daddy. That's pretty awesome considering he wanted us to register for divided plates when we were married. You know, so his food wouldn't touch :)
