Cheesy Pearl Couscous with Tomatoes, Spinach and Chicken

Tonight is a quick post for a quick, tasty dinner!  Pearl couscous is also known as toasted Israeli style pasta.  I paired it with chicken to complete the meal.  Here's how to put it together:

Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into small pieces 

Cheesy pearl couscous with chicken

1 cup Pearl Couscous
16 oz. vegetable broth
14.5 oz. can of diced tomatoes, drained
2 slices of cheddar cheese
1/4 cup of half and half
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Seasoning mix
Salt to taste

Equipment:
Large skillet
3 quart pot with lid
Cutting board, knife, tongs/spatula

Instructions:
Heat up olive oil in the skillet, stove on medium high.  Sprinkle the chicken pieces with the seasoning mix, add to the hot pan.  Cook, turning occasionally, about 8 minutes, until done.  Set aside.
In the pot, add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.  Once boiling, turn heat down to medium and stir in the pearl couscous.  Cover with the lid and let simmer.  After 5 minutes, stir in the diced tomatoes, and then the cheese.  Stir in the half and half.  Let simmer down for 3 more minutes.  Once the couscous is soft, turn off the heat and stir in the chopped spinach.  Add salt to taste.  Serve in warmed bowls with the chicken on top.  Enjoy!
