Boil a kettle
Dissolve half the [whole] stock cube with 200ml [400ml] boiled water in a heatproof bowl
Add the couscous to the stock, cover and set aside

Chop the spring onion[s] finely discarding the root end[s]
Set aside a small pinch of chopped spring onions for garnish

Add the chicken to a bowl with the spring onion, chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and the remaining stock cube
Mix very well and set aside

Roll the lime[s] with your hand on a hard surface (to release more juice!) and cut in half
Combine the juice of half a [whole] lime with the saffron and honey - this is your glaze

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a high heat with 1 tbsp [2 tbsp] vegetable oil
Once hot, add the chicken mixture and cook for 5-7 min or until cooked through

Meanwhile, chop the coriander finely, including the stalks
Fluff the couscous, add the chopped coriander and the juice of the remaining lime
Season generously with salt and pepper and stir in a drizzle of olive oil

Once the chicken is cooked, add a small splash of water to the pan and stir (this makes a little extra sauce)
Remove the chicken from the heat

Serve the chicken over the couscous and drizzle the saffron lime glaze over
Garnish with the reserved spring onion
Enjoy!
