Preparation
1
Get Prepped

  • Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
  • Halve the chilli lengthways. Deseed and thinly slice.
  • Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into strips.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

2
Make the Couscous

  • Pop the couscous and chicken stock powder in a medium bowl.
  • Add 200ml boiling water (500ml for 4p).
  • Cover with a plate or cling film. 
  • Leave aside for 10 mins.

3
Cook the Chicken

  • Add 1 tbsp flour (double for 4p) to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the chicken and toss to coat. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken.
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • When hot, fry the chicken, shifting frequently until golden all over, 7-8 mins.

TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging used to keep it fresh.

4
Fry the Veg

  • Add the onion and bell pepper.
  • Fry until starting to soften, stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins.
  • Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 min more.

5
Simmer the Sauce

  • Add the red Thai paste, ketjap manis, 25ml water (double for 4p) and chilli (use less if you don't like spice).
  • Cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 2-3 mins. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the peas
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.

TIP: Add a splash of water if you feel the sauce needs loosening.

6
Finish and Serve

  • Fluff up the couscous with a fork.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper, if required.
  • Spoon into bowls and top with the chicken and veg.
  • Finish with a drizzle of sweet chilli sauce.
