Instructions

Get Started
1
  • Pour the water for the couscous (see pantry for amount) and half the veg stock paste into a saucepan. Bring to the boil. 
  • When boiling, remove from the heat. Stir in the couscous. Pop a lid on the pan.
  • Leave to the side for 8-10 mins or until ready to serve.
  • Meanwhile, halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
  • Drain the chickpeas in a sieve.
Fry Time
2
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. 
  • Once hot, add the pepper and diced chicken. Fry, 5-6 mins. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
Simmer Simmer
3
  • Add the remaining veg stock paste, chickpeas, cinnamon, harissa paste (add less if you'd prefer it milder), passata, sugar and water (see pantry for both).
  • Stir and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat slightly. Simmer, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: Cook so there's no pink in the middle of the chicken.
Dinner's Ready!
4
  • Once the chicken is cooked, add the spinach in handfuls, making sure it's piping hot, 1-2 mins.
  • When everything's ready, share the couscous and chicken between bowls. 
  • Sprinkle over the flaked almonds to finish.
