Very good quick recipe!It ended up being even quicker,since I used 4 leftover grilled chicken breasts.I also added a couple heads of lightly steamed broccoli and made a dressing of 1 1/2 Tbs lime juice,about 6 Tbs orange juice,2 cloves garlic,salt and pepper and tossed it in.I also cooked the couscous in 1 1/2 c. broth instead of 2.

I served this cold. It was excellent. Would go well as a side dish or a meal with bread. My son hates cooked peppers and enjoyed the raw peppers. Very colorful!!Suggest you take liquids you will cook the chicken in and mariante chicken in it for at least 30-60 minutes before cooking/

WOW! GREAT lunch salad! I make a batch of this, and it drives my co-workers crazy wondering where I got it! I was also amazed how quickly it can be thrown together. All in all, great recipe.

A delicious alternative to pasta salad! I made it with precooked couscous and it was a success.

I made this recipe when I received it in my inbox in the "daily recipe" newsletter. It sounded exactly like what I wanted for dinner and I wasn't disappointed. I used Bulgar Wheat instead of cous cous as the local store was out. I made the recipe for 2 and actually doubled the cumin and wine because I was added a lot more vegetables. I used tender stem broccoli and baby corn as extra veg. I also used mild white onion which I sauted with the chicken as I was out of green onions. I omitted the olives as I don't like them. All in all even with all my changes this was an incredible dish. It was a favourite with my other half too. I will definitely be making this for lunches as well as light dinners in the future. It was perfect. Thank you!

This is a great change from the usual chicken salad, or the usual pasta salad. I made it once following the recipe, then made it again using more olives, chopped blanched asparagus and added feta cheese; very yummy. This will be my new "potluck" salad.

Excellent! My husband was skeptical of the couscous but when he tried it he thought it was great. One thing he thought the dish needed more was spice and added some Jamaica Me Crazy pepper from Costco the salad was still excellent. Will definitely make it again. GREAT recipe.

This was good. I added feta cheese and made a greek dressing I found on this site to add to it. I think otherwise it would have been dry and lacking in flavor.
