Whole Wheat Couscous Recipes

A double-hitter: Each portion has almost two servings of vegetables.

When cooked, balsamic vinegar takes on a sweet, pungent flavor that complements both the chicken and the spinach. Even avowed spinach haters have commented that this sauce makes the spinach palatable. And when you consider the 6 grams of fat and 34 grams of protein, this powerhouse meal is filling and yet suitable for many diets. Vegetarians could substitute seitan for the chicken and still benefit from the incredible flavor and nutrition of this dish.
