Good but not great. Add chicken broth to your desired consistency. I used a little over half the suggested 48oz. I doubled the spices too. My only real gripe is that it doesn't taste very authentic.

This was very good, but taking the other reviewers advice I cut the broth by half. I will be making this again, but I will be doubling the spices. It was a little balnd for our tastes.

An excellent dish. I made it using dark turkey meat, which I browned with the onion and two cloves of garlic for about twenty minutes before adding the other ingredients. 1/3 cup raisins added a wonderful sweetness, and I doubled the carrots and zucchini. If you want this to be a stew and not a thin soup, cut the chicken soup down to 16 ounces.

I made this last night and it was delicious! Like many people, I doubled the spices and cut the chicken broth down to a 32 oz box. I used some extra broth in place of half the water when making the couscous, it gives it a nice flavor. Very good, and I will definitely make it again.

Really liked but I don't think 48 oz of broth is necessary. Half that amount would have been enough as another reviewer suggested.

Holy Cow! This was awesome. My husband liked the chicken but refused to eat the veggies, the beans or the couscous. He's such a punk. It scaled down to serve just the 2 of us easily, and the flavors were great. I did add some garlic when I was sauteing the onion, and threw in raisins with the beans and tomatoes. I'm excited to eat the leftovers for lunch tomorrow, even though there's no chicken left since hubby picked it all out.

I just served this when my family was in town and it was gone before I knew it! Even my picky eaters gobbled it up. I did add about a cup of coconut milk to the sauce which gave it a nice flavor. In addition to the couscous, I also offered it with mango rice with sweet coconut milk. This is a keeper! Thanks for the recipe!

I made this last night and oh my gosh, how wonderful. The spices were perfect, giving it wonderful flavor. Even my picky 6 yr old loved it. It did have a lot of liquid, but it worked for us as we used it for our bread and used the rest as a stock for soup tonight. Thanks for sharing!!

This is really a HEALING stew and has many cancer fighting ingredients and high metabolic spices (tumeric, clove, cinnamon, etc.). It is great for people fighting diabetes, cancer or just want good general health. You can use chicken thighs, shredded chicken or mixed pieces for a more rich stew, or go without the meat and add more beans.

My husband loved this and I thought it was quite good, too. I actually made the recipe for 2 servings and didn't add the beans, but added extra zucchini to make up for it. Also, added extra chicken broth to have more stuff to pour over the couscous. Turned out great.

my honey and i devoured this stuff. it's even better the second day. i bought half of a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store, used the meat for my chicken, and boiled the bones and fatty bits to make the chicken broth (easy and economical!). i only made about 24 oz. of broth, and that was plenty. more spices wouldn't hurt, but the flavor is great. it's necessary to cut the amount of broth in half tho, and you could even reduce that a bit more. also, i left out the beans and added a clove of garlic. we threw in some black currants after cooking the first night. it seemed more exotic that way. the second night, i added a little garlic salt and no fruit. it's yummy that way too. i like mine with a little frank's hot sauce! and finally, i didn't crush the cloves and don't see any reason to do so. thanks for the marvelous recipe!!!

I loved this meal. The kids seemed to like it. My husband, who has an aversion to cloves, was not as crazy about it. I took the advice of others and doubled the spices except the hot pepper and reduced the chicken broth to 32oz. I also added a tablespoon of white sugar. Next time I might cut back a little bit on the cloves and up the cinnamon slightly. It was delicious!

Not something I'd cook often, but it was tasty. My husband likes Moroccan better than I do, so big hit with him. I think I'd want to serve the couscous seperately.

Mmm, lovely, a great stew to have this cold November week. I made a few changes, partly due to lack of ingredients, partly to doctor the flavour. I used half the amount of chicken (not a big meat-eater), no carrot, threw in a handful of raisins for extra texture, and added more spices until it was rich enough, probably doubled them all by the end. I also cut the broth down by half and it thickened up really nicely. It's a plus that I'll just have to make up a bit of couscous in no time every night before I pack this up for lunch. A winner.

It's really good dish- However, this dish is even better the next day - because it becomes more like gravy- instead of liquidy soup. It's very tasty- I added brown sugar and raisins to sweetened it. The raisins add little bit of sweetness in the soup- Very Good with Raisins.

The flavor is fantastic! I'm vegan so I left out the chicken and used vegetable broth but those were the only changes I made. It was very tangy and flavorful and was perfect over the couscous. Delicious! Thanks!!

Made this for dinner tonight and invited my neighbor over. We both loved it! And my 18 month old devoured hers! The only thing I did differently was added just a bit more cayenne pepper than the recipe asks. The aroma in my kitchen was delicious and the meal had plenty of taste to it!

Good subtle flavors, though I might have preferred a little bit more spice. I was wary of the cinnamon (and accidentally added quite a bit!) but it really enhanced the chicken and was not at all overpowering. I ended up with something pretty watery, but it was still great with couscous, and I used the leftover chicken/sauce over whole wheat penne pasta the next day. Yum!
