    1 Cook couscous in a large saucepan of boiling water for 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain.

    2 Meanwhile, spray a large non-stick frying pan with olive oil and set over medium-high heat. Add pumpkin to pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until golden and tender. Transfer to a bowl. Add the chicken to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until browned and cooked. Season with cracked black pepper. Remove the pan from the heat. Cool slightly.

    3 Add the couscous and spinach mix to pan along with the salad dressing. Toss to combine. Divide among four serving bowls and serve.

    HFG tip

    If you can’t find marinated chicken in your supermarket, you can make your own by adding some lime juice and chilli paste to plain chicken skewers.
