Creamy Garlic Lemon Couscous with Chicken
This creamy garlic lemon couscous with chicken is a skillet that everyone will love. It is just creamy enough to feel luscious without being heavy and full of garlic and lemon flavors. Everything is cooked in one skillet, so the couscous soaks up all of the flavors that the chicken gives off as it browns… plus, there is only one pot to clean when you are done. A real win-win!
