Step 1

In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add couscous and toast 2 to 3 minutes, stirring until golden brown. Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 10 minutes, until couscous is tender and liquid has been absorbed. Transfer couscous to a large bowl.

In a nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add squash and cook over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes, until crisp-tender. Add to bowl with couscous.

Add chicken, tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of the dressing, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, tossing to combine.

Toss arugula with remaining 1 tablespoon dressing. Arrange on a platter; top with couscous and chicken.
