Method

Heat a griddle pan, then add the chicken breasts – skin side down – and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning once (or cook under a hot grill).
Meanwhile, measure out 200ml boiling water and stir in the curry paste and the juice of half a lime. Pour the water over the couscous and set aside for 5 minutes.
Quarter the cherry tomatoes and mix into the couscous. Divide the couscous between 2 plates, place a chicken breast on top and garnish with mint leaves.
