Place the chicken pieces and 1 tbsp olive oil in a large bowl, toss gently then sprinkle over the thyme, oregano, cumin and paprika and mix until evenly coated. If time allows, leave to marinate for up to 1 hour.
Preheat the grill to medium. Thread the marinated chicken and the lemon slices alternately onto 8 skewers (see cook’s tip). Cook under the grill for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is nicely browned and cooked through with no pink meat.
Meanwhile, place the couscous in a heatproof bowl and pour over 250ml boiling water. Set aside for 5 minutes.
Fluff up the couscous with a fork then stir in the orange zest and juice, remaining 1 tbsp oil, the pomegranate seeds and herbs then divide between 4 plates. Top with the chicken skewers and serve with rocket and a spoonful of natural yogurt.
If you’re using bamboo skewers, soak them in hot water for 30 minutes before using to help prevent them burning.
