Our family and friends love this low fat side dish. When I have a vegetarian here, I use vegetable broth instead of chicken. This recipe came from Cooking Light magazine.

This was a great dish! I used zucchini and yellow squash from my garden, and the flavors were amazing. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a big fan of couscous, but this dish was really good. The vegetables were cooked perfectly and the couscous was fluffy and flavorful. I would definitely make this again.

This dish was easy to make and very flavorful. I used a mix of zucchini, yellow squash, and red bell pepper, and the colors were beautiful. I served it with grilled chicken and it was a perfect meal.
