📝 Preparation Steps
1

Simmer. Add the chicken stock, salt, pepper and stir to combine. Continue cooking until the broth reaches a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pan with a lid, and simmer for about ⏱️ 10-12 minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the couscous is al dente, stirring occasionally. (If it seems like the couscous needs more liquid to finish cooking, you can add ¼ cup of additional chicken stock or water.)
