Simple Sesame Chicken with Couscous
I created this dish after my three kids tried Chinese takeout and asked for more. To make things easy for myself, I typically use a rotisserie chicken from the deli. —Naylet LaRochelle, Miami, Florida

This was really good and very easy to make. I think next time I will add extra coleslaw though, as we really liked that part (personal preference). I also could see how this could be changed to different "styles". Put in different ingredients in the couscous (chopped fresh spinach for example) and maybe use a creamy Italian dressing. This is a very versatile recipe!

This was really fast and tasty. We think it would be just as tasty cold as it was hot (we'll find out if we are correct tomorrow at lunch!) We also think you could add so many things - broccoli, more carrots, mandarin oranges, or dried cranberries, etc...
Very easy and tasty. I used quinoa instead of the couscous since that's what I had in the cupboard. Also added chopped broccoli and carrots to increase the veggie content.
VERY easy to make, and it's tasty. I need to add more than two cups of coleslaw mix next time, but I'll be making this again.
