CK's Chicken and Squash Couscous

This dinner is just a basic chicken breast with beans and couscous. It turned out so flavorful because of the spice rub on the chicken and the squash and zucchini in the couscous. It is also a great meal for those watching their blood pressure because there is no salt in this at all, but it is not lacking in any flavor.

It is a basic baked chicken breast with a special herb crust. It is an Organic No Salt Seasoning from Kirkland Signature. David just made a paste using this and olive oil and rubbed placed it into a zip lock back for about 1 hour (you can do this for up to over night) then made sure that a good crust of it was covering the chicken when put into bake. While the chicken is baking you make the couscous according to directions and then add some 1 inch chopped zucchini and yellow squash. For a bit of extra spice you add a dash or two of the same Organic No-Salt Seasoning to the water when making the couscous. In another pot put your beans with a pat of butter (which you can forgo) and a little dill. Plate and serve. There was enough couscous for a nice vegetarian lunch the next day.

2-4 chicken breasts
4 tlbs spoons Kirkland Signature Organic No-Salt Seasoning
2 tlbs spoons of Olive Oil
