Lemon Parmesan Couscous

Lemon Parmesan Couscous is the perfect side for any dinner!

Couscous is quickly becoming one of my go-to sides for dinner. Every time we have chicken, I want a new side, couscous is not that side. It’s super quick to make and can be done last minute with the stuff you have on hand. You can even get creative with it! I love it! This was a really good version, lemon is just the right tang and parmesan is always a great addition.
