I'm not sure what went wrong, but this recipe didn't turn out well for me. I'll have to try it again.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was tough and the couscous was mushy.

The chicken was a bit dry. I think I overcooked it.

This dish is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less cinnamon or dried fruit.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some chopped nuts for extra crunch.
