01
Step 1
Start by bringing the chicken stock to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Once it’s boiling, stir in the couscous, then take the pan off the heat. Cover it and let it sit for about 5 minutes so the couscous can absorb the liquid. After that, fluff it gently with a fork and let it cool for another 10 minutes.

Step 2
While the couscous is cooling, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and vinegar in a blender or food processor on low speed until the dressing thickens slightly. Stir in the chopped rosemary, then season with salt and pepper to your liking.

Step 3
In a big bowl, combine the chicken, cucumber, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives. Add in the couscous, Feta cheese, and parsley, then season everything with a little salt and pepper. Pour in half of the dressing and give it a good toss. Taste it and add more dressing if you think it needs it. If you’re prepping the salad ahead of time, hold off on adding extra dressing until just before serving.
