rolling pin to flatten the chicken. Remove clingfilm, sprinkle with

paprika, salt and pepper, then drizzle over 2 tbsp olive oil.

2. Heat a griddle pan or grill until hot then cook the chicken

breasts for 8-10 minutes, turning once (you might have to do this in

batches if your griddle or grill pan isn't large enough).

3. Meanwhile, put the remaining olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and

seasoning in a screw-topped jar and shake well to mix.

4. when the chicken is cooked, cut it into strips and arrange on top

of the couscous. Drizzle over the dressing and serve garnished with

the sprigs of fresh coriander.
