Instructions

1
  • Boil a half-full kettle.
  • Put the couscous in a bowl.
  • Pour in the boiled water (see pantry). Stir in half the chicken stock paste, then cover tightly with cling film.
  • Leave to the side for 10 mins.
2
  • Next, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, fry the chicken, 8-10 mins. Season with salt and pepper.
  • IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
  • Meanwhile, open the remaining sachets.
3
  • Mix the roasted spice and herb blend, tomato puree, water (see pantry) and remaining chicken stock paste into the chicken.
  • Stir through the honey and butter (see pantry). TIP: Pop hardened honey into hot water for 1 min.
  • Add the spinach in handfuls, making sure it's piping hot, 1-2 mins.
4
  • Fluff up the couscous with a fork. Stir through the zhoug (add less if you'd prefer things milder). 
  • Share your couscous between bowls.
  • Top with your spiced chicken. Finish with a dollop of yoghurt.
  • Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the dish, though some found it less spicy than expected. Consider adding extra chilli flakes for more heat.
  • Ease of prep: Reviewers praised the quick and simple preparation, making it an ideal choice for a speedy meal.
  • Suggestions: Add vegetables like red pepper or mushrooms to boost nutrition. For a richer flavour, try using chicken thighs instead of breast.
  • Portions: Some found the meal on the smaller side. Consider increasing the amount of chicken or adding extra vegetables to bulk it up.
