Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for approximately 2 hours.

Place green beans and bell pepper over chicken. Cover and cook approximately 3 hours more.

Meanwhile boil 3 cups of water in a saucepan. Add couscous and stir. Cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let sit until water is absorbed and couscous is tender 5 to 10 minutes.

Place hot couscous on each plate and top with chicken and vegetables. Spoon juices from the slow cooker over each serving.
