For the best flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. This allows the spices to penetrate the meat fully. If you’re short on time, a quick 15-minute marination will still yield delicious results.
As for the couscous, feel free to add some chopped vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for added nutrition and color. You can also substitute parsley for cilantro if you’re not a fan. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
