1. Tip the couscous into a heatproof bowl with the peas. Pour over the hot stock, cover with a plate to keep the heat in, and soak for 5 minutes.
2. Tear the chicken into good bite-sized strips, then toss half of it on top of the soaked couscous. Mix in with the chopped tomato, then moisten and flavour with the olive oil and lemon juice. Season to your taste - you probably won't need to add any salt, just some pepper. Divide between two plates and top with the rest of the chicken strips. Drizzle over a little extra olive oil and it's all ready to serve.

'So simple and quick with a really fresh taste. Great for busy evenings.'

  my kids love this! I leave out the tomato and lemon and serve hot with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. So quick to make when having one of those days!

  I like this recipe because it is so easy and simple. It can't be made simpler. I did'nt change any ingredients because it is as good as it is...

  This is very good, quick and easy. I used Tikka chicken fillets which added a nice flavour and topped it with some chopped parsley.
