Italian Couscous

A MOPS mom (thanks, Angela!) brought this for me after William was born, and it was delicious! It’s super easy to make for your family or for a new mom.

INGREDIENTS
1 box couscous, prepared as directed (Parmesan works well, or original cooked in chicken broth)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
½ -1 cup onion, sliced thin quartered
1-2 cups chicken, cooked and chopped or shredded
1 can diced or stewed tomatoes, Italian style (or add Italian seasonings yourself)
10 ounces fresh spinach
Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese, grated
Parmesan cheese (optional)

DIRECTIONS
1. Prepare couscous as directed on box, set aside.
2. Heat tomatoes on stove, set aside.
3. Heat 1-2 Tbsp olive oil. Sauté garlic and onion for a few minutes. Add chicken. After a few more minutes, add spinach with 2-3 Tbsp of water. Cook, stirring, until spinach is lightly wilted – only a few minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Layer in a round or square baking dish: couscous, sprinkle layer of Parmesan cheese, then tomatoes, chicken and spinach mixture. Top with Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese and bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
