4 servings-
1. In a large saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil. Place Coucous in a bowl and drizzle broth on top. Cover tightly and let stand 10 minutes before fluffing with fork.
2. In the same saucepan, combine Lentils and garlic with water to cover by 1-1/2 inches. Bring to a boil then lower heat and simmer about 20 minutes (until lentils are tender). Discard Garlic. Stir lentils into Couscous.
3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl whisk together 2 Tblsp Olive Oil, the ginger and cinnamon. Season chicken with Salt and Pepper if desired. Add chicken to bown and toss to coat.
4. Spray a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray and cook chicken until no pink. Remove chicken and add chopped onion to skillet (you may wish to re-spray the pan or add a small amount of olive oil - which is not in the nutritional info). Stir and cook until onions are golden. Stir into the lentil mixture along with any pan juices left over (I've added a little water to the pan to get the 'tasty' stuff off of the bottom).
5. Plate the Couscous/Lentils/Onions and then place chicken on top.
Enjoy!
