I made this dish with some leftover chicken and it was delicious! The couscous was perfectly cooked and the pine nuts and parsley added a lovely flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked more flavor from the pine nuts and parsley. Overall, it was an okay dish, but I wouldn't make it again.
