Preparation:
– preheat oven to 350 degrees
– in lightly buttered/greased casserole, spread a half-inch layer of plain couscous (I made an entire box of instant couscous and used some for stuffing and some for pan, with a little leftover)
– with one piece of chicken, lay flat, top with 1-2 TB of stuffing mixture and roll. repeat with all pieces and place them on top of couscous in casserole
– cover casserole with foil and place in heated oven and bake for 20 minutes
– remove cover and baste with half of reserved sauce
– return to oven for another 10 minutes and repeat basting with rest of sauce
– cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through
