- 1 tbsp thyme chopped, fresh
- 1 tbsp rosemary chopped, fresh
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.

- While the chicken is grilling, prepare the couscous according to the package instructions, using chicken broth instead of water. Fluff the couscous with a fork and stir in the fresh parsley.
