When I was at my parents' house a few weeks ago, I was flipping through my mom's Real Simple magazine and found a bunch of recipes using rotisserie chicken. Ike and I tried one last night and it was simple and delicious. (For you vegetarians out there, you could easily omit the chicken and still have a delicious meal!)

Ingredients
1 10-ounce box couscous (I used parmesan couscous....FANTASTIC!)
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 large clove garlic, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar
pinch ground nutmeg
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 cup orange juice
1 15-ounce can diced peaches or peach slices, drained
1 rotisserie chicken, cut into pieces
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, optional
Directions
- Cook the couscous according to the package directions
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 1/2 minutes.
- Add the brown sugar, nutmeg, vinegar, and orange juice and bring to a simmer.
- Add the peaches and continue to simmer until the liquid has reduced slightly , about 5 minutes.
- Divide the couscous and chicken among individual bowls, top with the peach sauce, and sprinkle with parsley if desired.
It only took about 15-20 minutes to throw it all together. Between the two of us, we had pretty good helpings and still had enough for leftovers for lunch today!
Try it! You won't be sorry!
