Bingo, found one of them!
1 cup couscous
1 small package dried mushrooms, any type you like
2 tsps chicken bouillion granules
2Tbsps minced dried onions
1Tbsp dried parsley
1 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp ground turmeric
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 small can chicken meat

Make a packet of the spices and mushrooms.Have couscous in a seperate
baggie.
Bring 2 cups water to a boil.Add mushroom/spice packet and let sit off
the heat a few minutes to soften mushrooms. Adjust salt as needed.
Bring back to a boil and add canned chicken and couscous, stir briefly
to combine.Remove from heat and cover until all water is absorbed.If
too dry add a little more hot water and let sit a couple of minutes.
Makes 2 hearty servings.
