In a medium pot, combine the chicken stock, olive oil, and salt and set it over high heat.
Once the stock begins to boil, turn off the heat, pour in the couscous, stir to combine and cover the pot with a lid. Let rest for 5 minutes.
Remove the lid and fluff with a fork.

Perfect couscous every time! Couscous cooks quickly. I sometimes use couscous instead of brown rice because of the cook time. You can add just about anything to couscous to make a simple healthy side or a main meal.

Thank you! Perfect couscous every time. Fluffy and gently flavored. For more flavor, you can add vegetables and seasoning of your choice. This is the perfect simple couscous!
