    1 Soak skewers in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Combine marinade ingredients in a large bowl and add chicken. Mix well to combine. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes or more.

    2 Thread chicken on skewers. Cook skewers on a hot barbecue or grill pan for about 10 minutes, turning, until cooked through.

    3 To make couscous, place stock in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Pour over couscous in a glass bowl. Cover and set aside for 5 minutes.

    4 Heat a barbecue grill or grill pan to a medium heat. Spray with oil. Cook eggplant and capsicum until softened. Fluff up couscous with a fork. Add eggplant, capsicum and coriander and stir to combine. Serve with skewers and a dollop of yoghurt.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Use rice instead of couscous, and use gluten-free soy sauce and stock.
