Spicy Chicken With Couscous

Rogue Red's Note:

This is a deliciously spicy low fat chicken dish. You control the spiciness with strength of the curry powder you add. You can even leave out the chicken to use it as a side dish.

We loved this dish! I only used 1 tsp of curry powder, but I added 2 tsp of Emeril's "Essence" I had mixed up a while back. And I accidentally bought diced tomatoes with basil and garlic. It came out fabulous.

Good... but pretty bland; not spicy enough for our tastes. I added three times the amount of curry (we are curry fanatics) and left the rest of the recipe the same. Thanks for sharing!

Loved it!!! Small amount of salt but not small on flavor. I mixed the couscous with the chicken and it was a wonderful hearty meal....will make it again. It didn't need a single thing changed to make it better! Thanks Rogue Red!
