## Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp. curry paste
  • 1 tbsp. mango chutney
  • ½ tsp. turmeric
  • Salt to taste
  • 50ml olive oil
  • 4 chicken breast
  • 300g couscous
  • 350ml vegetable stock

Method

1) Firstly, make a marinade for your chicken by adding the curry paste, chutney, turmeric, salt and olive oil to a bowl and mixing well.

2) Then, cut each chicken breast in half and add to the marinade, stirring until well covered, and then leave aside for at least 20 minutes — ideally in the fridge overnight.

3) Next, heat a grill pan over medium heat and lay out your chicken pieces. Grill for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden and slightly charred.

4) Meanwhile, place the couscous in a big bowl and carefully pour in the boiling vegetable stock. Cover the bowl with a lid and leave to soak for around 5 minutes, then fluff your couscous with a fork and add any extras you want — pomegranate seeds are great for a flash of colour and burst of flavour.

5) Finally, divide your couscous into 4 containers, top with two pieces of marinated chicken and finish with a sprinkle of coriander.
