Ingredients

  • 400 grams diced chicken breast
  • 1 tablespoon ras-el-hanout
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 300 grams giant couscous
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 4 spring onions
  • 80 grams pomegranate seeds
  • 100 grams feta
  • 1 handful mint leaves
  • Salad leaves to serve

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix your chicken with the ras-el-hanout, half of the olive oil and a pinch of salt. When all of the chicken is coated, thread each piece onto wooden skewers (about 4-5 pieces to each skewer) then cook in a griddle pan or on a barbeque over a high heat for approximately 10 minutes (until cooked through), turning often.
  • Meanwhile, pour the couscous into a saucepan with about 600ml boiling water. Cook for 6-8 minutes, until soft, then drain.
  • Pour the cooked couscous into a large bowl and add the remaining olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sliced spring onions, pomegranate seeds, crumbled feta and chopped mint. Mix well, taste, and season if necessary.
  • To serve, have a skewer each with a pile of couscous and a handful of salad leaves.
