Harvesttime Chicken with Couscous image

Even on busy days, I can start this chicken in a slow cooker and still get to work on time. When I come home, spinach salad and crescent rolls round out the menu. -Heidi Rudolph, Oregon, Illinois

This is the worst chicken and couscous dish I have ever had. I would not even feed it to my dog.

This recipe was a complete disaster. The chicken was burnt, the couscous was mushy, and the vegetables were undercooked.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the recipe.

The couscous was a little undercooked for my taste. I would recommend cooking it for a few minutes longer.

I love the addition of the dried apricots. They add a touch of sweetness and tartness that really complements the other flavors in the dish.
