- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well in the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes.

In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Stir in the couscous, dried cranberries, sliced green olives, and chopped fresh parsley. Remove from heat, cover, and let it sit for 5 minutes.

Fluff the couscous with a fork and serve it alongside the sliced lemon chicken.
