In a small sauté pan, place pistachios over medium low heat. Toast pistachios for 2 – 3 minutes, shaking pan frequently to avoid burning them. Set aside.
In a small pot, pour 1 cup boiling water over couscous. Cover tightly and let sit until tender, 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, pistachios, orange, mint, oil and vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss couscous with chicken mixture and enjoy!
Bon Appetit!
