Instructions: Heat oven to 425 F. Prepare couscous according to package directions.

Spread all but 2 teaspoons apricot preserves evenly over chicken pieces; arrange pieces in foil-lined baking pan. Place pan in oven about 10 minutes, until chicken is heated through and well glazed with preserves.

Meanwhile, in 1 qt saucepan over high heat, bring 1/2 cup water to boil; add reserved apricot preserves and carrot slices; cook, covered, 5 to 6 minutes until carrots are tender. Drain carrots; add to couscous along with scallions and pepper. Toss mixture well; spoon onto serving platter alongside glazed chicken. Serve immediately.
