1
  • Boil a half-full kettle.
  • Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, fry the chicken, 8-10 mins. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.
  • Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
Cook Couscous
2
  • Meanwhile, put the couscous and butter (see pantry) in a bowl.
  • Pour in the boiled water (see pantry). Stir in half the chicken stock paste. 
  • Cover tightly with cling film. Set aside for 10 mins.
Flavour Time
3
  • Once cooked, add the tomato puree and cumin to the chicken. Cook, 1 min.
  • Stir in the remaining chicken stock paste, honey, water (see pantry) and harissa (add less if you'd prefer it milder). TIP: Put hardened honey into hot water for 1 min.
  • Simmer, 2-3 mins.
  • Next, add the spinach in handfuls, making sure it's piping hot, 1-2 mins.
Dinner's Ready!

  • Fluff up the couscous and share between your bowls.
  • Spoon over the chicken and spinach.
  • Crumble over the Greek style salad cheese. Top with the rocket and sprinkle over the pumpkin seeds.
  • Drizzle a little oil over the leaves.
