Method
- Put the couscous and red pepper into a large bowl. Measure 350ml boiling water into a jug, stir in 3 tablespoons of the peanut butter, and stir the mixture into the couscous. Cover with cling film and set aside for 5 minutes, until the liquid has been absorbed. Fluff up with a fork.
- Meanwhile, strip the chicken from the skewers and halve each piece. Add the spring onions to the couscous, along with the chicken. Toss together, season to taste and divide between plates.
- Put the remaining peanut butter in a bowl and gradually stir in 6 tablespoons hot water, to thin down. Drizzle over the couscous to serve.
