    I have made this twice now and it has become one of our favorite dinners. It is a wonderful blend of flavors. The cous cous is out of this world. My husband can't wait for lunch the next day when he gets the leftovers. I made this last night and today I am trying Tyler Florences Ultimate Beef Stew. I have all three of his cookbooks and have not found a bad recipe yet.

    My favorite dish to make! The couscous is superb...the olive goo is delicious, and the chicken is so juicy and moist.

    The chicken is delicious and very easy to make. As the recipe suggests, the skin should not be consumed because its very salty. The green olive sauce ended up being a little too spicey for my taste and ended up with quite a bit of sauce left. Recommend cutting olive sauce in half. Apricot Couscous was delicious.

    the reviews seem to concur that this recipe has big, delicious flavor. Me too! However, the chicken, baked in this fashion, is so faintly flavored that it is a flop. I made double the recipe of "rub" and tossed the shredded chicken with it, greatly enhancing it's spicy flavor.

    I alternatively served this with romaine leaves as the wrap...they were crunchy and contributed to the overall taste.

    I used 3 lbs. of chicken breasts and sliced into them, not in half, but three-quarters of the way through to pretend this was the 'inside' of a whole chicken. I rubbed the spice mix all over.I proceeded to place a bed of cilantro sprinkled with lemon juice, salt and pepper on the 'inside'then marinated it overnight in olive oil and minced garlic. Next day, I took the head of garlic, placed the peeled cloves on the bed of cilantro inside each breast, sprinkled some more lemon juice inside and folded it closed. I followed the suggestions of two other reviewers and placed the lemon slices on top, covered the baking dish w/aluminum foil and baked for 35 mins. The olive oil sauce salted the breasts and gave it that flavor wallop. Just delicious! Whew!

    I changed this recipe for 6 chicken breasts and it was great. I marinated it overnight and was perfect. I simply rubbed the cilantra"pesto" on the breasts and then placed lemons on top. Worked well I also served the sauce on the side with the pesto and flat bread to make it more dinner friendly. Great tastings..worth the work

    I love this recipe: tastes great with the olive sauce, and the spices provide a wonderful aroma.

    I have adapted the recipe to use 3 to 4 lb. chicken cutlets, rather than a whole chicken. Place the lemons as a layer on a baking dish, rub the spice all over the cutlets, cover entire dish with aluminum foil, and bake for 35 min.

    I made this chicken alone, from his recipe in Real Kitchen and it is FABULOUS!! My husband and children all loved it. I have to say, not only is this the best chicken I've ever made, but it just may be the best chicken I 've ever tasted (next to 40 clove chicken w/ rosemary. I wanted to try something new and I chose Moroccan. I'm sooooo glad! Thanks TF!

    This was a great recipe. My husband said it was the greatest thing I had ever made. We used pita pockets and it made great lunches and dinner leftovers for my husband when I was out of town. It is time consuming but well worth it. I used and eight lb chicken, oops, but it was wonderful.
