Tonight I tried a new recipe. It's summer and strawberries were on sale at the market. This recipe came from Better Homes and Gardens. I found a new to me kind of Pearl Cous Cous, which was basil and herb flavored which I thought would be good with the basil and cheese stuffed chicken and strawberries. Both Biscuit and I decided the couscous went with the chicken, but not the strawberries, so if I made this recipe again I'd probably just serve it over rice. The strawberries were a nice constrast to the sharp parmesan in the chicken, although I'd add more balsmamic to the strawberries next time. It's a really pretty meal, but kind of a lot of fuss for a week night. Definitely good enough for company. Both Biscuit and I rated this a seven, and Biscuit liked it well enough to have seconds. The meal was definitely heavier than expected, but having just eaten I'm not feeling uncomfortably stuffed.
I don't think this recipe will become a regular in our house, but we definitely enjoyed it and I would probably make it again.
