Instructions

Step 1

Put the couscous into a large mixing bowl and cover with hot stock. Leave for 10-15 minutes to swell and cool, then stir with a fork to fluff up the grains.

Step 2

Add the chicken, sweetcorn, tomatoes and cucumber. Season with a squeeze of lemon juice and some ground black pepper. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

Step 3

Tip 1: Make fruity chicken couscous by replacing the sweetcorn, tomatoes and cucumber with chopped apple, seedless grapes and raisins or chopped ready-to-eat apricots. Tip2: Another time, try using Bulgar wheat instead of couscous. Just prepare in the same way.
