Italian Chicken and Couscous

I found this in Betty Crocker's cookbook. I had some couscous in the fridge and was looking for a recipe to cook it in. I really liked this! I would change a few things though, next time. I'd only do 1/2 c. couscous, 1 c. broth, and 2 cans tomatoes instead of just one. But other than that it was very good.

1 T. olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 can stewed tomatoes, liquid reserved
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken, cut into strips
1 onion, sliced
1/2 t. oregano
1/8 t. pepper
1 1/2 c. chicken broth
1 medium zucchini, cut in half, then slices
3/4 c. couscous

1. Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and cook one minute.
2. Stir in tomato liquid, chicken, onion, oregano, and pepper. Heat to boiling, reduce heat. Cover and simmer 10 minutes.
3. Stir in broth, heat to boiling. Stir in zucchini, couscous, and tomatoes. Cover and cook about 5 minutes.
