Cooking Steps

1

Boil the kettle. Place couscous, chicken stock powder and currants in a medium bowl. Add the boiling water and stir to combine. Immediately cover with a plate and leave for 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and set aside.

2

Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chicken breast strips and chermoula spice blend and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes.

3

While the chicken is cooking, roughly chop the cucumber and tomato.

4

When you're ready to pack your lunch, roughly chop the mint. Stir the cucumber, tomato and mint through the couscous. Divide the couscous between two microwavable containers and top with the chermoula chicken. At lunch time, remove the chicken from the couscous and heat in the microwave until piping hot, 1-2 minutes. Top the couscous with the hot chicken. Pour over the tahini.
