Lemony Couscous Salad

This is a Tuscan inspired recipe, and another one that transports well for al fresco dining:
(yields 4 servings)

Salad:
4 bone in chicken breast halves
EVOO for drizzling
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 T. finely grated lemon zest
1 T. fresh lemon juice
3/4 t. sea* salt
1 T. chopped fresh rosemary leaves
Freshly ground pepper
4 cups whole wheat couscous, cooked, drained, rinsed, and cooled
6 Campari* tomatoes, diced
3 med. zucchini, diced
1 fennel bulb, diced
Fresh basil leaves, hand torn
Fresh baby* spinach leaves, stems removed and hand torn

Dressing:
2 T. EVOO
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Coarse* kosher* salt
Freshly ground pepper

Drizzle the chicken all over with oil. Sprinkle with garlic, sea salt, pepper, lemon zest, and rosemary. Roast until chicken is done; let cool, and chop. To assemble the salad, put all the rest of the ingredients together in a big bowl and toss with dressing.
