The lemon flavor carries through the whole dish perfectly all the flavors work together. We really enjoyed the dish
Winner winner chicken dinner. Super easy and tasty. Made a few changes. Marinated the chicken in the dressing for an hour (thick pieces), Subbed Maui sweet onion for the red onion (red onion is overpowering to me), used a full pack of 4oz crumbled feta, used both fresh oregano and rosemary, and doubled down on the Italian parsley (yes it has to be Italian IMO). Thinking about subbing quinoa for the couscous next time.
This was a winner! I loved all the flavors and how it came together. Using thin-sliced chicken breasts worked perfect. I'd make this again for dinner/work lunches. Instead of adding the parsley to the final dish I chopped it up and added it to the tomato/cucumber salad.
I made exactly as recipe indicated. It was delicious. Would definitely make again.Especially the cucumber salad. It's a little more time consuming but worth it.
Followed this dish to the letter and it was very tasty. I never realized how much I love couscous!! The dressing is superb. I can see tomorrows lunch to include leftovers with some pita and hummus I have on hand. Bravo to the inventor!
Made this last night and all I heard from DH is sounds of yum...yum...yum! Everything for a wonderful meal is in this recipe...I followed it to a tee but did do a little changes...I always do this with every recipe. 1) I used boneless, skinless thighs instead of breasts - more moisture in my opinion and less likely to overcook and be dry; 2) made twice the amount of dressing and with the first batch, marinated the chicken in the refrigerator for 2 hours - second batch I added the sugar and used for the cucumber/tomato salad; 3) used crushed dried rosemary in the first batch and fresh chopped rosemary in the second batch; added freshly ground pepper to both batches. That's it! Wonderful, wonderful recipe and fabulous dinner!
What I LOVE about this recipe is that: 1. It is a WHOLE MEAL in one, and 2. It only takes about 45 min. to prepare from start to finish! Exactly what I needed tonight. Thanks! Unfortunately, I messed up and put the whole dressing amount into the raw chicken. I'll have to try this again soon so I can give an accurate rating.
Delicious! My wife picked it out and we made it for her dad who also enjoyed it. We all liked the way the lemon sauce carried through all three parts of the meal and the olives in the couscous were amazing. We'll be making this again soon.
This was excellent when fresh. However leftovers did not turn out so that's the reason for only 4 stars. The cucumber salad sort of "wilted" with the dressing on it for the next day. I will try to leave off the dressing and add to leftovers when ready to eat and see if that is better.
