This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the couscous was bland. I wouldn't recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this recipe was pretty good. The chicken was cooked well and the couscous was fluffy. However, I found the Dijon sauce to be a bit too strong for my taste. I think I would prefer a different sauce next time.

This recipe is a lifesaver! It's so quick and easy to make, and it's always a hit with my family. I love that I can use whatever vegetables I have on hand. I also like to add a bit of feta cheese to the couscous for extra flavor.

This recipe is amazing! I've made it several times and it's always a hit. The chicken is always tender and juicy, and the couscous is always fluffy and flavorful. I love the Dijon sauce, too. It's the perfect finishing touch to this dish.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the couscous was a bit mushy. I think I would prefer a different recipe for chicken and couscous.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices and herbs to the chicken and couscous. I also think it would be better if the chicken was cooked in a pan instead of baked.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out great. I usually add a few extra vegetables to the couscous, like carrots and peas. I also like to serve it with a side of roasted potatoes.
