Description

This chicken gratin with couscous is a comforting and tasty dish, perfect for a dinner with family or friends. I love the combination of tender chicken, fluffy couscous and fresh coriander, which brings a touch of freshness and perfume. The preparation is quite simple and quick, especially with the Thermomix®, which greatly facilitates the cooking of the chicken and the preparation of the couscous. This gratin is ideal for using leftover roast chicken, but it is just as delicious with fresh chicken. Feel free to add other vegetables such as zucchini or peppers for an even more complete dish. A real delight!
