Chicken tagine with couscous

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large, heavy-based frying pan over high heat. Add chicken. Cook for 2 minutes each side or until light golden. Remove to a plate.

Step 2

Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes or until onion is tender. Add spice mix. Cook for 30 seconds or until aromatic.

Step 3

Return chicken to pan. Add tomatoes, chickpeas and zucchini. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 12 to 15 minutes or until chicken is tender and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Meanwhile, place 11/2 cups cold water in a medium saucepan. Bring to the boil over high heat. Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in couscous. Cover and stand for 3 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Stir couscous with a fork to separate grains.
