Instructions

In a saucepan, bring the water with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of oil to a boil. Add the couscous, take from heat, cover and allow to soak for 10 minutes.

Mix the sun-dried tomatoes with olives and goat’s cheese. Season with pepper.

Carefully butterfly the chicken breasts, making sure not to cut all the way through. Spoon the cheese mixture into the chicken breasts. Fix with toothpicks. Season the outside with salt and pepper. In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and fry the meat until golden all around. Switch off the heat, but leave the meat in the pan until serving.

In another pan, heat the remaining oil. Fry the onion, garlic and bell peppers until soft. Stir in the apricots, tomatoes and the vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Fold the mixture into the couscous. Stir in the almonds and the parsley.

Cut the chicken breast fillets diagonally into half.

Place a good ladle of the couscous on the plates and arrange the chicken breast fillets on top.
