I loved this dish! It will become a regular at my home. All the spices blended nicely together. It did take me a little longer to make than the directions, but I may have cooked the chicken and vegetables longer than specified. This also may have helped the spices blend a little better than for other people. I love spicy food and I thought this dish had the perfect amount of spice. I used two large jalapeños with the seeds removed. Like many other reviewers, I added and changed up the recipe a little. I used 1/2 a yellow onion instead of the green onions (I already had the onion)added 1/2 a bell pepper and 2 cloves of fresh minced garlic. I cooked the garlic with the chicken and pepper. Finally, I used whole wheat couscous to make this dish even healthier. I really enjoyed this recipe and can't wait to make it again.

This dish was ok, but not great. I read a lot of the reviews before making it and decided not to change anything as I like spicy foods. I used 3 jalapenos (about 1/2 c.), removing the seeds and membranes, and found the amount of kick was just right for me. Probably would be a bit too spicy for some. Anyway, although the dish is perfectly edible, I agree with some other reviews that it's definitely lacking something. I can't figure out what is missing either, but it makes the dish simply unremarkable. Maybe it needs more or different spices? Maybe a different meat? I'll finish it off, but I wouldn't waste time making it again, especially considering all the dicing involved. I think this dish has potential, but it'll take a better cook than me to discover the missing ingredient(s).

Healthy and delicious. Next time we'll live out the coriander, but it's definitely a keeper!

How disappointing! My husband & I were really looking forward to this dish. It was surprisingly bland. We even thought we'd take the chance and put all of the jalapenos in that the recipe called for even though other reviewers warned against. In the end it was just ok, but nothing special. Actually, the dish wasn't spicy at all. I guess it's because I was careful not to let any seeds or membrane (the spicy parts) fall in when I was chopping. We felt that the recipe was missing something very important, we just couldn't figure out what it was. We decided that this dish was not worth tweaking. Will not make again.

I made this last Wednesday and it was so good! My boyfriend is still raving about it. I did make a few changes. I got garlic and olive oil coucous at the store. It turned out really good. I left out the carrots and added bell peppers and golden raisins. I will definatly make this again.

Excellent taste! Love all the spices that go into this recipe. I did not have coriander seed and substituted it with just ground coriander. Worked just fine! I was in a hurry when making this and did not measure anything at all. Just go by feel! All the ingredients go very well together, it does not matter if the measurements are not exactly what is stated. I added red pepper for extra color. Taste great. Next time I will experiment with other vegetables. Another reviewer said other vegetables work too. All in all a superb recipe. Very flexible which allows one to be creative and the results are just as awesome!

I thought it was great and will definitely make it again soon. I didn't have a few of the things so I had to substitute green onions for a yellow one, jalepeno peppers for little red chilis, and corriander seeds for fresh cilantro - still came out tasty with a good amount of spice. We don't often have couscous and so it was a nice change, and my 1.5 year old loved it (not the vegetables as much but that's just the stage she's at).

This is very good. I used .5 tsp of ground ginger and a yellow onion instead of green. I also added an extra zucchini. Very simple and tasty. I had just under half a cup of jalapeno and I didn't find it quite spicy enough so I will use the entire half cup in the future.

This was good and I typically don't like some of the spices used. I made it twice and the second time around I made some changes. I doubled the amount of seasoning and used flavored couscous (follow directions on box). Very good and a great leftover!

My first succesful meal. Go easy on the Jalapenos though and add curry according to preference.

I think this is my husband's favorite dinner dish. I double the veggies, so I also add a little more of the spices as well. I only add one jalepeno because that makes it very spicy. We eat it over jasmine rice and its delicious!

Pretty good....I liked the colors and the texture...but I thought the curry overwhelmed it just a bit. Maybe I was not in the "curry" mood when I made it. Also, the flavor vastly improves when a sweet element is added....I suggest adding a generous handful of golden raisins along with the zucchini, onions, etc.

I've been making this recipe for almost 5 years and it's one of our favorites. Becasue we are vegetarian, I use fake chicken and broth, double the amount of zuccini and carrots and leave out the jalapeno. I also use an entire regular onion instead of the green ones. A touch more coriander and some fresh cilantro on top round it out perfectly!

Divine! I used summer squash instead of zucchini (because it was all I had on hand) and I took the peppers out before serving. I agree with another reviewer—there was still enough of the hot pepper taste, just enough in fact. I will definitely be making this again!

While I really liked this and will definitely make it again, it seemed to lack something. I think next time I will add a little salt and a couple of cloves of garlic. With 1/2 C. jalapenos, I thought it would be really hot. In fact, while I was chopping them, I was coughing and choking, usually a sign for me that the chili is very hot. But there was no heat whatsoever in the finished dish. Oh well. It was still a very good meal. Served with Thai Cucumber Salad (Cooking Light) and fresh asperagus.

I pretty much followed the recipe except I used some diced cooked chicken I pulled out of the freezer, and I served it with rice instead of couscous. I thought overall it was a good recipe except the spiciness overwhelmed the dish--and I like spicy foods. I think if I make it again I will cut the jalapeno portion in half.
