Instructions

a) Pop your frying pan back on medium high heat and add a drizzle of oil. b) Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the pan and season with salt and pepper. c) Stir fry until golden brown on the outside, 4-5 mins.
a) Meanwhile, pour the boiling water for the couscous (see ingredients for amount) into a saucepan and bring to the boil. b) When boiling, remove from the heat, stir in the couscous and half the stock powder. c) Pop a lid on the pan and leave to the side for 8-10 mins or until ready to serve.
a) Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion. b) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). c) Thinly slice the chilli. d) Roughly chop the apricots. e) Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a sieve. f) Once the chicken is browned, add the onion to the pan with the chicken, stir together and cook until softened, 4-5 mins.
a) Stir the tagine paste, dried apricots, garlic, half the chilli (or less if you don't like heat!) and the sugar (see ingredients for amount) into the chicken and onion.
