Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Flatten the chicken breasts between two sheets of cling film with a rolling pin, then mix together the zatar spices and cream cheese. Place half the mixture along the centre of a chicken breast. Bring the edges together to form a parcel, then secure with cocktail sticks. Roll in a dish of flour, dip in a dish of beaten egg, then finally roll in a dish of breadcrumbs. Repeat with the other chicken breast, then chill them for 5 minutes.
- Heat a frying pan with the oil. Fry the chicken parcels for 5 minutes or until golden all over, then cook in the oven for 10 minutes until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, pour the stock over the couscous, then leave for 10 minutes covered with cling film. Remove the cling film and stir in the almonds with a fork. Serve together.
