- Cut each chicken fillet into six slices and put in a non-metallic bowl with the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, spices and harissa. Combine everything thoroughly. Cover and leave to marinate for 30 minutes if you can.
- When ready to cook, reconstitute the couscous according to pack instructions. When it is ready, stir in the raisins and the parsley. Keep warm. Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan or the grill. Arrange the chicken pieces on the pan or under the grill on the rack. Cook for 3 minutes then turn over with tongs and cook for a further 2 minutes until cooked through with no pink showing. Serve with the couscous.
