Steps

1

Cut the chicken breast into strips and mix in seasoning cube, salt, black pepper, curry, thyme and onion powder. Massage the chicken thoroughly with these spices and cover with a cling film. Place in the refrigerator and allow to marinate for at least an hour or even over night. Crate the habanero pepper. Slice half of the onion in strips for the stir fry and half in small pieces for the couscous. Cut the bell peppers and carrot in strips. Crate fresh ginger and garlic to form a paste.
2

On medium heat place a clean pot, add vegetable oil. Add sliced onions, saute for a minute, add ginger and garlic paste, add thyme n saute for another minute. Add the crated habanero pepper, (u can add tomatoes at this point if you wish) stir and allow to fry for about 3 minutes.
3

Add water/ chicken stock/ beef stock. Bring it to a boil and add the couscous. Add the butter/margarine and cover the pot so the couscous can absorb the liquid and soften. Turn off the heat immediately and keep the pot covered for about 5 minutes. Then use a fork to fluff the couscous. Add spring onion for garnish
4

On a medium low heat. Add vegetable oil to pan, once the oil is hot add the marinated chicken breast and stir fry until cooked and golden brown. Set this aside.
5

To the same pan, add a little more oil and add the onions cut in strips. Saute for a minute, add ginger and garlic paste. Saute for about a minute also. Add the bell peppers and carrot and stir. Add the chicken. Add soy sauce. Adjust the seasoning if necessary. Stir for about a minute, add spring onion for garnish and take off the heat. Enjoy😉
