Prep time
15 mins
Ingredients
- Coriander: handful coriander, chopped, to serve
- Chicken Breast: 200g chicken breast, diced
- Olive Oil: 1 tbsp olive oil
- Onion: 1 onion, thinly sliced
- Couscous: 200g couscous
- Chickpea: 220g can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- Chicken Stock: 200ml hot chicken stock
- Apricot: 10 dried apricots
- Ginger: good chunk fresh root ginger
- Harissa Paste: 1-2 tbsp harissa paste, plus extra to serve
Directions
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion for 1-2 mins just until softened. Add the chicken and fry for 7-10 mins until cooked through and the onions have turned golden. Grate over the ginger, stir through the harissa to coat everything and cook for 1 min more.
- Tip in the apricots, chickpeas and couscous, then pour over the stock and stir once. Cover with a lid or tightly cover the pan with foil and leave for about 5 mins until the couscous has soaked up all the stock and is soft. Fluff up the couscous with a fork and scatter over the coriander to serve. Serve with extra harissa, if you like.
