This was by far one of the best meals I've made from the site. The lamb chops came out perfect and the couscous was pretty amazing. Can't wait to make this for friends! By accident I used beef broth instead of chicken but it actually came out really good. Didn't feel like opening a 2nd can after seeing my mistake. Paired this with zucchini chips and had a perfect meal. Can't wait to make again!
