Step 3
Add the tomato purée, couscous, chickpeas & cumin. Stir well to combine.
Step 4
Add the chicken stock or water with a bouillon cube (equal amounts liquid to couscous). Add in raisins (optional). Mix it all together. Reduce the heat to low, cover & simmer for 8-10 min. Once the chicken is fully cooked & the couscous has soaked up all the liquid, remove from the heat.
