I’ve been wanting to make this chicken for months. I found it on Sweet Tea in Texas and thought it looked and sounded so delicious. She paired this with mango rice, but I opted to do couscous since I am like addicted to it lately. I actually used a boxed couscous mix that had pine nuts in it and then added in the mango along with an herb mixture. I also halved the recipe since I just used four chicken breasts instead of a quartered chicken. The full recipe is in the link above and my adjustments are below. This meal was so flavorful and a great refreshing dinner for summer. The couscous was amazing and I couldn’t get enough of it. Hope you enjoy!
