Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Equipment

  • Medium pot with lid
  • Medium bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter, divided
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup whole wheat couscous
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

For the garlic parmesan couscous:

  • In a medium pot, bring the broth, oil, 1 tablespoon butter and seasonings to a boil. Remove from heat.
  • Add the couscous; stir quickly to combine, cover and let set for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer cooked couscous to a medium serving bowl. Add the Parmesan cheese, parsley and remaining 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Use a fork to fluff the couscous until the butter is melted and everything is combined. Note: Don’t use a spoon to combine because it will make the couscous clump together rather than keeping it light and fluffy.
  • Serve immediately.
