Cut the chicken breasts in large bite-sized pieces. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake the chicken and marinade uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove meat from marinade with a slotted spoon and serve over the prepared couscous.
