Make Chicken and Couscous your way
  • Switch the Moroccan vibe and go for Indian flavours – add curry paste to the chicken. 
  • Try it Italian style and switch the cumin and cinnamon for green pesto or a big pinch of Italian mixed herbs.
  • Switch the couscous for 2 pouches of flavoured microwave rice for a quick alternative.
