1. Prepare couscous with chicken stock, according to the packet instructions. Heat olive oil in a pan and cook the onion for 2-3 mins until softened.
2. Toss in chicken breast fillets and stir fry for 5-6 mins until tender. Add the blanched almonds and, when golden, stir in the hot curry paste and cook for 1 min more.
3. Add the couscous along with the apricots and the coriander. Toss until hot then serve with plain yogurt if you like.

  Quick, easy and tasty! Its nice that you can alter the strength dependent on what curry paste you buy! I went for the Madras which gave it a real kick! Even nice cold for lunch the next day!

  Really easy to make. Very tasty although mine seemed to turn out a little dry, perhaps I needed to add a little extra curry paste? Anyway, would def cook again as very quick so great for mid-week dinner.
