"I made this sticking close to the recipe, although I cut back on the mint in the couscous and used Israeli couscous as others had suggested. Also, instead of shredding the chicken, we carved the roaster and served pieces of the chicken with the green olive sauce as a side for each person to add as they wished. It was delicious and won raves at dinner! The meal was easy to cook - I made the couscous earlier to let the flavors mingle. Fantastic!!
