2. Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan, drizzle honey and some seasoning over the chicken and fry over a medium heat for 5-6 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through (no longer pink, internal temperature 165 degrees F).
3. Mix in the spices, followed by the tomatoes, stock, beans, and remaining lemon zest and juice. Bring to the boil and simmer, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until the beans are tender. Fork through the couscous to fluff it up, then serve with the chicken.
