Cooking Steps

Boil per person: 90ml water with 1/8th stock cube in a saucepan.
Cook the giant couscous for 12 - 14 minutes, covered, on low heat, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, crush or mince the garlic and dice the onion.
Cut the courgette into quarters lengthways, then slice.

Heat a light drizzle of olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat and fry the garlic, onion, and courgette for 2 - 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, finely chop the stems of the basil and dice the tomato.
Deglaze the pan with the courgette with white balsamic vinegar (see pantry items for quantity) and season with salt and pepper.
Add the tomato, the chopped basil stems, and per person: 150ml water and 1/4th stock cube to the pot, stir well, and let boil over medium heat for 5 - 6 minutes.

In a small frying pan, heat a light drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for 7 minutes.
In the meantime, chop the basil and grate the Parmigiano.
When the soup is done, turn off the heat and finish it by stirring in the cooking cream, the Sicilian herbs and the Italian herbs.
Season well with salt and pepper.

Serve the couscous in deep plates or bowls.
Pour the soup over the couscous and top with the fried chicken.
Garnish with the chopped basil and grated Parmigiano.
