Spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil and set over medium-high heat. Add pumpkin and cook, turning, for 5 minutes, or until charred and tender. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Sprinkle chicken evenly with dukkah. In the same frying pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and set over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from pan and thickly slice.
Meanwhile, in a heatproof bowl combine couscous and boiling water. Cover and stand for about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork to separate grains. Add tomatoes and spinach then stir gently to combine.
