  • 2

    stalks celery - small diced

  • 1 c

    acini di pepe pasta or cous cous

  • 1/2 tsp

    crushed red pepper

  • 1/3 c

    chopped parsley

Directions

  1. Simply sauté the celery, onion, carrot and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes to soften.
  2. Add the chicken broth, chicken breasts, and crushed red pepper to the pot. Raise the heat to high, cover, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium, then simmer for 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the couscous, salt, and black pepper to taste. Simmer another 5 minutes. Then turn the heat off.
  4. Remove the two chicken breasts from the pot and shred the chicken. Then place it back in the pot. Stir in the true lemon powder and chopped parsley.
  5. Taste then salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm.
