Harvest Grains with Chicken and Brussels Sprouts

This is a quick and easy way to incorporate roasted veggies with grains and any other leftovers you happen to have around.  I saw this Harvest Grains blend at Trader Joe’s and picked it up thinking it would be a great base for weekday lunches or a dinner side dishes.  The mix contains Israeli Style Couscous, Orzo, Baby Garbanzo Beans, and Red Quinoa and takes only about 15 minutes to prepare.  Since I had some leftover roasted chicken and golden crusted brussels sprouts sitting around, I just threw them all together to create this simple yet complete dish.  Im sure just about any combination of veggies and protein will work great and I recommend this recipe for those of us easing into experimenting with new veggies like brussels sprouts!
