Orange-Tomato Couscous with Chicken

This had too many flavors and my family did not like the way the mixed, actually ended up throwing out every thing but the chicken. The chicken is good.

Delicious! I have made this meal multiple times. Its easy, inexpensive and DELICIOUS! My husband approves as well. The cinnamon and cumin really are the key ingredients that make this dish. Pros: flavorful, easy, filling

Love this!I absolutely love the orange fruit in this dish!! All of the flavors blend so well together. I used two chicken breasts and shredded them with a fork before adding them back for the last time. I also used more crushed tomatoes. Next time I'm going to use more spices. I also used brown rice instead of cous cous. I loved this dish and I will definitely make it again!Pros: This is a healthy great tasting recipe; I especially LOVE the orange fruit in this dish.

Simple and nice mix of flavors I made this recipe tonight for BF and myself. It was a hit. It had a very nice mixture of flavors that you wouldn't expect to go together (cumin and orange?) but they all complimented nicely. I took the advice of some other posters and peeled and de-pithed the orange, also adding some of the zest. I also doubled all of the spices and added quite a bit of cayenne pepper (we love spicy foods). The cayenne gave it a nice little kick that I think really made the dish into something special. BF suggested white wine and hot sauce as additions next time, which I will definitely try. This is a keeper, and a great way to do something new with boring chicken. Pros: Simple ingredients, easy to make

Quick, easy and tasty meal Family enjoyed this meal. I might have to add a bit more spice to the chicken. Will be making this dish again.

Delicious recipe I loved this recipe, other than as most others have mentioned, the orange rind. It might be nice to decorate with, but it's bitter. I loved the orange flavour though, it went well with the cinnamon, so definitely zest the oranges and use the flesh. I ended up with a whole lot of couscous mixture, might want to cut that back as well. Finally, I made this with lamb chops instead of chicken thighs, excellent substitution. Pros: healthy, delicious, light Cons: orange peel, too much couscous

Not a well-thought out recipe I can't imagine anyone making this recipe and then thinking it good enough to put on this website. The rinds from the oranges is bitter and it makes no sense to leave it in. The rest of the recipe is okay but like others said, it was a little bland. Cons: not a good idea to leave the orange rind in

Easy Mediterranean Chicken Liked the recipe but I would tweak it a bit next time. I would definately leave out the orange rinds - although the are soft enough to eat I found them bitter and picked them out. I agree with another review I would add orange juice to pop up the orange flavor and maybe just use orange zest. I dont like dark meat so I used boneless, skinless breasts which worked fine. I agree with an other reviewer that one could leave out the chicken and make it vegetarian but I would increase the chickpeas. Pros: Easy quick meal Cons: Bitter orange rinds

not worth trying I used the boneless thighs and the cooking time was accurate for them. I found the cooked oranges a bit bitter and think it would have been better to zest the orange and segment it to remove the bitter white pith. Of course that would take more time. I liked the other review's idea to add some OJ. That might have helped. I had the cilantro and it wasn't enough. Something was missing, not sure what it needed, though. Pros: instructions were accurate Cons: just not that good

Good Start, Could use some tweaksI've enjoyed Moroccan dishes before, and this was consistent with those, but much easier to make than another recipe I'm familiar with. I used bone-in thighs, and they took MUCH longer to cook than the recipe says. I found this very frustrating.I also found it slightly on the bland side. Partially because I didn't have access to cilantro, I think. (I did use coriander in addition to the spices it called for, to compensate for this.) Another time I'd try one or more of the following changes:-replace some of the chicken broth with orange juice; I thought a stronger orange flavor would have helped.-add some chopped dates for some contrasting sweetness-add a little cayenne or aleppo pepper, or a dash or two of hot sauce for just a little kickThe chick-peas were fine, but I don't think they are strictly necessary. On the other hand, the chicken could be left out (and the chick peas kept in) for a good vegetarian dish with a fairly complete protein.Pros: Easy, Healthy, A Change of PaceCons: Took longer to cook than stated; a little bland
