Garlic & Herb Chicken with Lemon-Dill Couscous

Sometimes simplicity is the name of the game. This recipe is flavorful, inexpensive, and elegant - all with only 6 ingredients.


Chicken:
2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 envelope garlic & herb salad dressing mix 

Couscous:
1 box couscous
3 ¼ T. lemon juice
½ tsp. dill weed

In a large, resealable plastic bag, combine parmesan and dressing mix. Add chicken to the bag and toss to coat. Place chicken in a greased 8-in. square baking dish and bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook couscous according to package directions, omitting the oil or butter. Before covering the couscous, add lemon juice and dill. Cover and remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Serve chicken atop a bed of couscous.
