Chicken Isreali Couscous

Last week I was on a pinning spree, okay -I'm always on a pinning spree but I must have been really hungry because my food board is full.

We were avoiding the big Superbowl Parties this year; A) because my husband had to work and B) Ashley had a sleepover last night and is in melt down mode.  

What to make?  I thought we would have a little nosh while watching the game so the Isreali Couscous, some hot wings, homemade copycat Chili's salsa and some Chicken Nachos were on the menu.  

I found most of these recipes on Pinterest so if you are following me you can find them on my "yummy drink and food" board.  If not, follow me- hehe.

Okay, so I like to follow recipes but I always like to add more than it calls for or change it up a bit.  You can find the inspiration recipe here:

Here is my version:

Cook 1 cup Isreali Couscous according to package instructions.

Chop your kalamata olives { I dont usually measure but I love this little Pampered Chef measuring cup}

I added chopped artichoke hearts since I always have them in the fridge and some blue cheese crumbles.

Now mix 

Add your shredded chicken { I boiled 4 chicken breasts and shredded one and froze the other 3 for 

future recipes}

And here ya go- Delish and lots of leftovers for lunch this week.

Recipe:

• 
  1 cup cooked Israeli Couscous
• 1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives- chopped
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped capers
• 1/4 cup chopped artichoke hearts
• 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
• 2 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil 
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 
• 1 shredded chicken breast

What did you make for the big game?
