Delicious quick and adaptable
I made this low fat and vegan...carmelized the onions in a dry pan and deglazed w/a bit of water, and used a vegan bullion cube instead of chicken broth. I also added some dried thyme as the mushrooms/onions were finishing. It was delicious, fast and satisfying. I'll try it next time with the giant Israeli couscous. This made a great meal and would be adaptable with many different additions.
Pros: quick and delicious
Cons: none

Pros: Quick, flavorful

Love this!
I loved this recipe -- the only thing I did differently was I used sodium-free chicken boullion mixed with warm water instead of the low-sodium broth, but the overall taste was delicious! I am normally not crazy about sun-dried tomatoes but I didn't mind them in this! I would definitely make this again!
