  2. I’ve never tried couscous. It looks perfect for me to try as it’s chicken and one-pot. Thanks!

    • I tried couscous first time in Australia years back and loved it. Try this recipe as it is simple and easy. Use less chill if you don’t eat hot food but I am sure you will love couscous, let me know 🙂

  3. This looks so good and thanks for the step-by-step photos! 🙂
