TROPICAL CHICKEN COUSCOUS W/ RUM VINAIGRETTE



Tropical Chicken Couscous W/ Rum Vinaigrette image

I bought some dried mango from a food market today and wanted to see if I could do something different with it. My idea was to do something with a Caribbean theme to its flavors but it certainly isn't authentic. I used chicken from a store bought rotisserie chicken to make this extra easy. The recipe could easily be scaled up to feed more.
