Rosemary Chicken with Couscous
Why I Love This Recipe
I adapted this recipe from Bill Phillips' 'Eating for Life'. It is tastier and heartier in my version, in my opinion! I made it for my roommate as I couldn't stand to watch him eat Ramen or spaghetti every night. It was well appreciated!

1 lb chicken breast
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar

3 tbsp rosemary
1/2tsp. black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced.
