Best Lemon Honey Chicken With Couscous Recipes
LEMON COUSCOUS CHICKEN
From "The South Beach Diet" copyright 2003. Phase Two Recipe. This recipe calls for it to be chilled, but we had it warm. It was wonderful! My grocery store didn't carry the Near East roasted garlic and olive oil couscous. We just substituted with Parmesan, since it was to only flavored couscous they had.

MOROCCAN CHICKEN WITH PRESERVED LEMONS AND COUSCOUS
One glance at the ingredients for this recipe and I knew it was, for me, a must-try recipe. I also loved the inclusion of time for marinating the chicken. Marinating always makes SUCH a difference to the end result. I'll be making this without the red chilli, but I'm well aware that many others will probably want to increase the heat. C'est la vie! I'd also prefer to serve it with a rice dish rather than couscous. I found this recipe in the latest edition - May 2005 - of the 'Australian Good Taste' magazine.
