Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup panko (Japanese) bread crumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
SAUCE:
1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce
1/4 cup hoisin sauce

COUSCOUS:
1 medium zucchini, chopped

Directions

Flatten chicken slightly; sprinkle with salt, ginger and pepper. Place the flour, eggs and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Coat chicken with flour, dip in eggs, then coat with crumbs.
Cook chicken in oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until no longer pink.
Combine the cranberry sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, salt and ginger in a small saucepan; heat through.
Saute zucchini in oil in a large saucepan until crisp-tender; add water and hoisin sauce. Bring to a boil. Stir in couscous. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand for 5-10 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork. Serve with chicken and cranberry sauce.

I did the chicken and sauce as recipe called but served it with rice. I will definitely make it again.

Oh, how I wish this had a nutritional count. Still, it looks so good I might try it anyway.

Followed recipe. Just 2 of us, so I used 1 lb. of thin sliced chicken breast. Usually leave 5 stars for the "WOW" recipes but since my wife really liked it (hard to please) I gave it 5 stars otherwise I probably would rate 4 stars. Will definitely make again.

Made it just as called for, and loved every bit of it, the chicken, the sauce and the couscous dish. Not difficult at all.
