Cooking Steps

Boil plenty of water in a pot or saucepan and crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amount).
Cook the giant couscous for 12 - 14 minutes, covered, then drain and transfer to a sieve. Rinse briefly under lukewarm water.
Meanwhile, dice the courgette and tomato. Slice the onion into half rings.

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a wok or deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the onion for 2 minutes, then add the courgette and season with salt and pepper.
Fry for 6 - 8 minutes, then add the tomato and fry for 2 more minutes.
Gradually add the spinach and allow to wilt and reduce.

Did you know… courgettes are high in iron, vitamin C and calcium.

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the chicken for 2 - 3 minutes per side.
Lower the heat and fry for 4 - 5 more minutes, or until done.
Remove the chicken from the pan and cut into strips.
Roughly chop the basil.

In a salad bowl, combine the giant couscous with the fried vegetables, the pesto and half of the basil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve the salad on plates and top with the chicken.
Garnish with the rest of the basil to finish.
