- Fluff through the couscous with a fork to separate the grains.
- Slice the onion into half-rings.
- Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken with the onion and the Sicilian-style herbs for 7 minutes.
- Deglaze with the water (see pantry for amount). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Dice the tomato and slice the cucumber into thin crescents.
- Chop the parsley.
- Transfer the tomato, the cucumber, the parsley and the couscous to a salad bowl.
- Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil as preferred, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss well to combine.
