Tropical Chicken Couscous W/ Rum Vinaigrette image

I bought some dried mango from a food market today and wanted to see if I could do something different with it. My idea was to do something with a Caribbean theme to its flavors but it certainly isn't authentic. I used chicken from a store bought rotisserie chicken to make this extra easy. The recipe could easily be scaled up to feed more.

I found the recipe to be a bit confusing. I think it could be written in a more clear and concise way.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a hotter pepper than the recipe called for.

I wasn't a fan of the rum vinaigrette. I think it overpowered the other flavors in the dish.
