Fast & Easy Dinner: Chicken Couscous With Dried Fruit
Couscous is quite possibly the world's quickest cooking grain. It takes literally five minutes to make — meaning it's an ideal ingredient for home cooks who are pressed for time. To create an entire meal with couscous, toss with sauteed vegetables, dried fruit, aromatic spices, and rotisserie chicken.
Dried Fruit Breakdown
I'm a big fan of dried fruit because it's easy to find, doesn't spoil quickly like fresh fruit, and can be added to so many foods including salads, yogurt, oatmeal, and baked goods. There's also a huge variety to choose from, and since it's made from fresh produce, it's packed with lots of vitamins and fiber.

What child doesn't love fruit roll ups? There is something so satisfying about peeling the strip of chewy, sweetened fruit off a piece of sheer plastic. When I was younger, I never would have guessed that fruit roll ups could be homemade!
Which Dried Fruit Has MORE Fiber?
It's recommended that women get 25 grams of fiber each day to help lower your risk of heart disease, as well as some types of cancer and type 2 diabetes. Eating a little bit more - 30 grams of fiber a day - can reduce your risk of getting breast cancer by 50%!
Since yummy dried fruits are a great way to get your fiber, add them to your salads, baked goods, or chow them alone.
