Method

Boil water in a kettle or saucepan, then put the couscous in a heatproof bowl, pour over 220ml boiling water, cover, and leave for 5 minutes.

Deseed and finely dice the peppers, zest and juice the lemon, and chop the fresh herbs.

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and keep the Caesar dressing ready for coating after cooking.

Cook the chicken in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes until golden outside and piping hot in the centre, then cool slightly before packing.

Fluff the couscous with a fork for 30 seconds, then stir through the lemon zest, lemon juice, herbs, and a pinch of seasoning.
Fold through the chicken, Caesar dressing and peppers, portion into boxes, and cool before chilling if packing ahead.
