Anyone up for a tomato, onion, and chicken broth smoothie?

Ingredients:
Chicken
1 chicken bouillon cube
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 large tomato, sliced
1 medium onion, diced
2 1/3 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons of tomato paste
a large spoonful of creamy peanut butter
1 tsp salt
1 cup of couscous
1/2 cup of roasted peanuts

mmmmm, tomato coated chicken.

Procedure:
Crush the bouillon cube, and mix with the pepper and garlic. Cover the chicken with this mixture.
Put the sliced tomato, diced onion, and a cup of chicken broth in the blender. Blend.
Use a large casserole pot, put in the vegetable oil. Heat it for about a minute on high. Then add the chicken.
Cook until brown (about 10 minutes)
Add the blended mixture of tomato, onion, and broth. Cook for 10 minutes on medium heat.
Heat the oven to 325°
Add the peanut butter and tomato paste, cook for 30 minutes on low heat.
Put the couscous in a baking pan, and coat it with the remaining chicken broth. Add a pinch of salt.
When the couscous is done add the peanuts. Serve with the chicken.

that's some seriously bright chicken.

Notes: YUM. I normally don't love tomatoes, but this was really yummy. Even my picky siblings liked it.... By the way, I saw Bridesmaids today- it was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen!! Go see it. Right now.
