Step 1

Put a large saucepan over high heat and pour in 2 tbsp of olive oil. When the pan is hot, add chicken thighs and leave them to brown for 5-10 minutes.

Step 2

Peel and finely slice onion and 2 cloves of garlic.

Step 3

Once chicken is brown, remove it from the pan. Add onion and garlic to the pan, turn the heat down to medium and fry until onions are soft and translucent.

Step 4

Add cinnamon, coriander, and chili flakes to the onions and let cook for another minute.

Step 5

Drain and rinse your chickpeas. Add one stock cube, chickpeas, and honey to the pan with onions.

Step 6

Pour in enough water to come just below the level of the chickpeas, then bring the pot to a simmer and allow to cook for 15-20 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the chickpeas.

Step 7

Boil a kettle of water and poor couscous into a heatproof mixing bowl along with raisins.

Step 8

Season with salt, pepper, and coriander before pouring in just enough boiling water to cover the couscous. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Fluff the couscous grains with a fork. Set this to the side for the end.

Step 10

Put chicken back in the pan with chickpeas and onions to cook for another 8-10 minutes, until completely cooked through.

Step 11

Split the couscous between plates and top with the chicken and chickpea mixture.
