This was very good! I can't believe this recipe has been undiscovered on here for so long! We even forgot the almonds at the end but didn't really miss them. I was a bit unsure of the grapes as I am sure many of you are probably now thinking, but really they were delicious in this. Each one was a little gem of sweetness and juice. The lemon pepper flavored couscous was super yummy, and the herbed chicken and sauce really went well with it. I made as directed and then after trying it as is, I also added some chopped fresh parsley to my own plate and thought that took it to the next level as well as added some beautiful color contrast. It was super simple to prepare, and I am glad I took the chance on this one. Can't complain about how healthy it is either!!!
