Tender chicken in a pot with pearl couscous, lemon, and mint from Dinner in One: Exceptional & Easy One-Pan Meals (page 135) by Melissa Clark

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This is hearty yet bright dish maximizing use of full chicken. I may use a little less lemon next time but overall a great dish. Hands on time is not high though allowing time for all the roasting.

    This was a hit. I used orzo instead of couscous and used much less than called for. That made it very soupy the first night which was fine by us. The next night the orzo had soaked up all the liquid. I also cooked the chicken the night before then heated it up and added the orzo the next day. Nice comfort food.

    This was absolutely wonderful. My husband made it last night and it was the most satisfying thing Ive had a a while. There was some kind of magic in that pot. Also— I’m not sure how, but the mint punches up the flavor quite a bit. So glad there were leftovers for lunch!

    Worked perfect with a wild pheasant. Used only half the called for couscous which lead to more of a soup which we liked. I would, next time, wait to add the peas until the very last minute, I was actually surprised that the recipe had them added so early, they lost a lot of vibrancy in that time. But a delicious preparation of a whole bird, so will definitely be repeating.
