Servings: persons

2 tbsp olive oil
4 chicken breasts, cut into bitesize pieces
4 tsp garlic paste made from recipe by taylor68too attached below
8 tsp Vickys Ras-El-Hanout paste from recipe attached below
1 sunflower oil as required to make the pastes
800 grams (2 x 400g cans) chopped tomatoes

1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp finely chopped coriander / cilantro
800 grams (2 x 400g cans) chickpeas, drained
200 grams dry corn cous cous
2 tsp lemon infused olive oil
1 tsp salt

1
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and brown off the diced chicken for around 3 minutes
2
Meanwhile mash the roasted garlic (thanks to Taylor for letting me add her recipe in here) and add a little oil if needed to make a paste.
3
Stir into the chicken and cook for a further minute
4
Mix some Ras-El-Hanout, around 12 teaspoons dry mix, with just enough sunflower oil to make 8 teaspoons of thick paste and add to the pan.
5
Stir through and cook for 5 minutes.
6
To save more time you can buy a jar from the store but I think you'll like mine better!
7
Add the chopped tomatoes, chopped apricots, ground cinnamon and coriander leaf and simmer for 8 minutes until thickened
8
Meanwhile, make the cous cous up according to the amount of boiling water advised on the packet and let it stand.
9
I use corn based cous cous but feel free to use the 'normal' kind
10
Add the chickpeas to the frying pan and cook for a final 3 minutes
11
Add a teaspoon of salt and the lemon infused oil to the cous cous and fluff up with a fork
12
Divide the cous cous between 4 bowls and spoon the chicken mixture on top.
13
Garnish with some extra chopped coriander leaf
