  I find that a chicken stock cube in the boiling water for the couscous works well.

  This was so easy and so tasty - have used chicken breasts as well as thighs and it works well on both

  I didn't make the couscous, but the chicken was delicious!

  This was very tasty but rather dry. I'll make again but will probably serve with some roasted tomatoes to provide some moisture.

  I took 'Rog's advice, (see above) and roasted some cherry tomatoes with it, really helped the chicken stay moist, added a bit too much coriander by mistake but still tasted great. I served this with pilau rice and bombay potatoes.

  I made this as I had a tin of butter beans I didn't know what to do with! Turned out to be lovely, really easy to do, I couldnt get hold of harissa paste so used a rub which was fine. Chicken was tender and really tasted the lemon coming through, also served with roasted tomatoes which this really needed as would of been too dry. Would recommend and will make again.

  I didn't have the right herbs for this, so added some ground coriander to the harissa. I used chicken breasts, which I bashed out, which were just as good. I added the butterbeans to the cous cous, along with basil, black olives and roasted red peppers. Was a tasty and healthy supper!
