We see a lot of great comments about this recipe on our message boards. Here's a tip: make sure the pork is cut 3/4-inch-thick for quick and even cooking.
 

Ingredients

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon   
2 tsp ground cumin   
2 tsp ground coriander   
1 pound(s) lean pork loin, four 4 oz boneless chops, 3/4-inch-thick each   
2 tsp olive oil   
10 oz uncooked whole wheat couscous   
2 cup(s) fat-free chicken broth   
8 1/2 oz canned water-pack apricot halves, unpeeled, chopped (or 8 fresh apricot halves)   
1 Tbsp cilantro, fresh, chopped   

Instructions

  • In a resealable plastic bag, combine cinnamon, cumin and coriander. Add pork to bag, seal and shake until well-coated; allow to marinate 20 minutes. (Note: You may use a medium glass bowl instead, if desired.)

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook pork, turning once, until cooked through and an internal temperature of 160ºF is reached, about 8 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, prepare couscous according to package directions using broth instead of water. Fold apricots and cilantro into cooked couscous and mix to combine. Serve pork over couscous. Yields 1 pork chop and about 1 1/4 cups of couscous per serving.
