  1. Cut the chicken into small pieces and marinade in the garlic puree & half lemon and leave it to the side.
  2. In a pan, add a drizzle of oil, diced onion and some salt and cook on a medium heat until the onion sweats down.
  3. Add in the chicken and all the spices (black pepper, chilli flakes, turmeric and cumin) to the pan and stir until combined.
  4. Add in the diced pepper and cook until the chicken is fully cooked through.
  5. Add in the cup of cous-cous and mix until fully combined, then pour in the vegetable stock and mix well.
  6. Switch off the gas and place a lid onto the pan; allow the cous-cous to rest for 15 minutes and then remove the lid.
  7. Use a fork to mix the cous-cous so that it becomes light and fluffy and serve immediately with some hummus and salad. Enjoy!
