Couscous is a quick and easy side dish. For a flavour burst, add your favourite Epicure Herb & Spice blend, or Epicure Tea, when boiling couscous.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup drained canned peach slices, juice reserved
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1⁄4 tsp ginger (ground)

  • 1⁄2 cup water chestnuts, sliced
  • 2 cups cooked whole-wheat couscous

Preparation

  1. Cook chicken in frying pan over medium heat for 8 – 10 minutes, or until brown. Place on a plate and set aside.
