lemon grilled chicken & couscous

this recipe originated from here. this is part of an awesome series called "dinner & a movie" by From Me to You. i absolutely LOVE these recipes. they have become favorites. on the original website there's also a recipe for pita bread and hummus. i served the two dishes below with a salad of baby spinach and mediterranean feta crumbles. delightful.
