Salsa Couscous Chicken

Today at Life As Mom the theme is Potluck. Something you can bring to a potluck or just anything goes. The recipe I selected today is one that is easy to prepare and packed with flavor. The honey and cinnamon add a nice softness to the salsa. You can use medium or hot salsa, depending on your families preference on heat.

Salsa Couscous Chicken

1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 chicken breasts, cut in pieces

1/4 c water
1 tbsp honey
