Grill the chicken
- Heat the BBQ on high, making sure to oil the grill first. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Pat the chicken* dry and drizzle with oil; season with the spices and S&P.
- Add to the BBQ and grill, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through.

Boil the couscous
- Meanwhile, add the couscous to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate.

- Return to the pot and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent clumping.
Mise en place
