  Quick and easy recipe that the whole family enjoyed..including a picky teenager! Only thing I would ask..what do i do with the other half of the marinade? Why only use half?? Would definately make again.

  Loved this recipe. I always get stuck for ideas for cous cous, so I was looking forward to trying this variation. Made it with salmon instead of chicken, and substituted the sultanas for chopped dried apricots, yummy!

  Really yummy, I too was puzzled with what to do with the other half of the marinade, so I decided to stir it into the couscous mixture at the end and it worked! Gave it a bit more flavour.

  Hi Liz/ Spronny/ Sandra. Apologies but the method section was missing a detail- the other half of the marinade is poured on the couscous as a dressing. This has now been amended. Thanks for spotting it and hope you enjoy/ed this recipe anyway. Thanks, BBC Good Food web team

  Nice quick mid week recipie - skipped the olives as we don't like them and used chopped dried prunes instead of sultanas as we had them and they needed using up - worked really nicely. Perhaps a little on the dry side - you definitly need decent chicken and perhpas a dollop of greek yogurt or similar.

  This was a very good recipe. The chicken turned out really well. Lots of couscous so good for lunch the next day. Left out the olives.

  Very easy to do and full of flavour. Left out the chickpeas (not a big love in our household) and added a variety of roast vegetables to the cous cous to up veg intake.

  I found this way too much couscous for 4 people, half would have been enough and the dressing would have worked better on the smaller amount. It was really tasty though.

  This was good, I omitted the sultanas and used capers in stead & served with yoghurt. Fresh, healthy & tasty!
