I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit with my family. The chicken is always moist and flavorful, and the couscous is cooked perfectly. I love the combination of spices, and the dish has just the right amount of heat.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The chicken and couscous cook together in one pot, so there's minimal cleanup. The flavors are also delicious, with a nice balance of sweet, savory, and spicy.

I'm not a fan of couscous, but I was pleasantly surprised by this recipe. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the spices were well-balanced. The couscous was also cooked perfectly, and it had a nice fluffy texture.

I'm a big fan of Southwest flavors, so I was excited to try this recipe. Overall, I was pleased with the results. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the couscous was cooked perfectly. However, I found the dish to be a bit too spicy for my taste

This recipe has potential, but it needs some tweaking. The chicken was a bit dry, and the couscous was bland. I think adding some more spices and vegetables would help improve the flavor.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish didn't turn out well. The chicken was tough and the couscous was mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I made this recipe last night and it was delicious! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly in the skillet. The couscous was also very flavorful. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
