  Made this last night and it was delicious! Admittedly I didn't have olives and I added cherry toms, beetroot and cucumber instead but it was the dressing that made it, and the chicken was so tasty and moist, my husband loved it.

  Absolutely delicious! The cooking time was perfect and the chicken was tender and moist. I didn't have any olives or chickpeas and I'm not a fan of sultanas so I made the couscous without them. Still tasted lovely though. I think you definitely need some kind of veg with this. This is going into my binder!

  Love everything about this recipe, super tasty and healthy to boot. Sometimes use turkey breasts instead of chicken and that works well too.

  This is a great dinner! I served it to my guest the other day and it was a success! Not being a fan of sultanas I left them out, but added some pine nuts and served the chicken with a youghurt dressing. I will definitely do this again soon!

  I cheat a bit and use a pack of lemon and coriander couscous! But delicious, easy and everyone loves this recipe.

  Perhaps I did something wrong... the couscous was nice although cold with the chickpeas not heated. The whole thing was too dry... how much lemon juice do you expect from two lemons? is marinading for 15 minutes long enough? The chicken didn't have enough lemon taste for us.
