    Moroccan-Style Chicken with Pearl Couscous - Week 13, 2015

    Jump to recipe

    MoroccanCouscousChicken

    Oh the flavours in this dish are just amazing!   I'm thoroughly enjoying tweaking new recipes with my spice blends.  We loved it soooo much that I kept wanting to test it over and over and over!  :)

    This recipe was inspired by the recipe on the back of the box of the Gourmet Pearl Couscous and I converted and tweaked it to be made in the Thermomix.

    I hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

      Hurrah Leonie! I found it!
      I made the green curry paste and the chicken dish. It was very good, I made it with fillets as OH doesn't like bones! I would like more flavour of the curry so hope, if I add more paste to the oil and perhaps increase the Moroccan spice, thatvwould improve the flavour?
      Not sure how to add a photo here!!

      Awesome flavoursome recipe that my family kept asking when will it be ready to eat after the smells coming from the ktichen. We used chicken breasts cut into strips instead of the legs. Thank you Leonie for a great recipe.
