    Instructions

    1 Split chicken breast or thighs in half and open up. Flatten with a rolling pin and lightly coat with flour.

    2 Heat a frying pan with oil spray and cook chicken for 3-4 minutes each side until lightly browned. Remove from pan and keep warm. Place couscous in a bowl and add 1/3 cup boiling water. Cover to allow water to be absorbed.

    3 Spray pan with oil again and add tomatoes with capers, olives and wine. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tomatoes break up. Add mushrooms and cook for a few  minutes. Return chicken to pan and cook for a few more minutes, coating chicken with sauce.

    4 Fluff up couscous with a fork and stir through apricots and almonds. Garnish with parsley (if using) and season to taste. Serve with chicken.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Use quinoa instead of couscous (to cook, follow packet directions).
