We made this a few days ago. The cherries go sooo well with the chicken and it's a super easy, fun and quick recipe. The result is very delicious and it looks beautiful also!
In addition, it made for great lunches for the next day as well.

What we liked:
The flavor combination was pretty incredible. The time to prepare was also very short. It took the longest to pit the cherries, but overall the prep time was minimum. We used the rosemary from our garden!
What we didn't like:
Nothing, it was great.
What Kaspian thought about it:
He liked the couscous (Even with all the spices!)
Next time:
No change! This is a great dish!
