Quick Couscous with Tomatoes and Chicken

Not sure how to cut tomatoes? Just keep slicing sections in half until you get the size you want.

In case you're not familiar with it, couscous is a pretty small, grain-type product. It has a bit of flavor but is usually eaten with other things, similar to pasta. Mixed with some chopped tomatoes and a little chicken, it can provide a hearty meal with minimum effort.
