1/4 cup basil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 minced garlic cloves
2 medium zucchini, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium red onion, chopped
3/4 cup garbanzo beans
1 cup mushroom, halved (optional)
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
3 -4 cooked chicken breasts, cut into pieces
3 cups hot cooked couscous

Steps:

Preheat oven for 425°F.
Combine the first five ingredients. Stir well, then mix in the zucchini, peppers, onions, garbanzo beans, raisins and mushrooms. After vegetables are coated well, put them into a shallow baking pan. Bake for 25 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally.
While vegetables are baking, cook chicken breasts in a skillet using some olive oil, basil, and garlic seasoning to taste.
Cook couscous according to package directions.
When all ingredients are cooked, serve chicken and vegetables over couscous.
(Note: To decrease preparation time, cut up vegetables beforehand. I cut all mine up then froze them until I wanted to make this recipe.).
