  I made this for the first time last week when my parents came over - it went down a treat! The chicken was really juicy and yummy and the flavours all worked really well together. Will definitely make this again!

  A good family meal, I left out the olives as the family are not keen. The only change i would make next time would be to cook the chicken separatley as the you lose the crunchy skin if you put it back in the pot.

  My daughter and her BF cooked this lask week and we were so impressed by it. Really tasty and the addition of the green olives worked really well. A must try if you haven't.

  Found this just alright, chicken was juicy and the Cous Cous had good flavour with the lemon zest but found it lacking something. I agree with the above comment that lamb chops would work better with this with black olives. Don't think I'd do this dish again

  Made this with skinless chicken thighs and certainly didn't feel that any flavour was lost. Hubby not a fan of couscous but he wolfed this down and declared it the best Couscous he's ever had. Really tasty way of cooking the chicken which I'm sure would work well on a BBQ too.

  Very tasty! Felt the cous cous was very slightly oily so will definitely use skinless chicken next time.

  Delicious -added sundries tomatoes and some raisins. Definitely don't need extra liquid but it will be a regular dish in our household. Equally nice eaten cold for lunch the next day!

  I switched the olives for sliced dried apricots, the parsley for fresh coriander and the bone/skin thighs for boned/skinless thighs and sliced the chicken diagonally for presentation/ease of eating! Spot on!!

  I made this meal last week for my boyfriend, it was really easy to make and it tasted lovely. I would definitely make it again! Instead of olives I added chickpeas, red pepper and carrots. I didn't add any extra water at the end and next time I would add a bit more spice, I served it with some yoghurt on top which went really well with it.

  I made this with my 5 year old and 2 year old and we all loved it (they're not big chicken eaters so it was a good result!) I left out the parsley and next time would include olives without stones too to make it easier and safer for the kids, since they like olives. It would also be nice with some cooked peppers and courgettes if you want to up the veggie content. A great meal for all the family.
