Number Of Ingredients 9

2 chicken breast fillets, sliced
10 asparagus spears, cut into 1/3rds (or more if you like them)
1/2 cup bacon, diced

couscous, to serve

Steps:

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the asparagus was still slightly crunchy. The couscous was also very good.
