Served 2 adults - yummy!
I liked the flavour although found it a bit too salty ( i used Vegetable stock) I made it without chicken so added more pumpkin. Will definately make again, just reduce the amount of stock i use.
Delicious!! I added two tablespoons of vegetable stock to 200g water and it was amazing!!! So simple!!
Very tasty, will definitely make it again
I used bacon instead of chicken and added garlic and extra veggies (more pumpkin, sweet potato and spinach). Only negative is that it definitely doesn't serve 4 people - I only got 2 serves out of it and that's with all the extra ingredients
Absolutely delicious
So simple & so tasty! I used 1 tablespoon chicken stock & 200g water & served on baby spinach leaves. Next time, I won't let the couscous rest as long (I left it for 10 minutes & it was a bit overdone for my tastes). Thanks for sharing!
This is wonderful my grandson loves it and the 2nd time I stirred through the couscous and then place in a Thermoserver to rest instead of leaving in the TM bowl

Hi Aphra,
You can use breast fillets instead of thigh fillets.
Thigh fillets are used in a lot of recipes in the book, as it contains twice as much iron, and is recommended for the babies and toddlers.

Can I use breast fillets instead of thigh fillets?
Really nice to have something that I actually had the ingredients for.
We were all still pretty hungry afterwards though, filled up on some fresh baked wholemeal bread.
