Moroccan Chicken With Pistachio Couscous image

This is another simple, easy and quick meal to put together, it is a good mid week, no fuss meal, that can be on the table in about 35 Min's. This recipe serves 4 but can be halved if just making for 2. I made this with chicken breasts coated them in the spice mixture, cooked them and then sliced thickly, but you could also use tenders or thigh fillets instead. Feel free to adjust spice quantaties to suit your personal tastes.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken didn't come out as tender as I would have liked.

I'm not usually a fan of couscous, but this dish changed my mind. The pistachio couscous was so flavorful and complemented the chicken perfectly.
