    250ml very low salt chicken stock, very hot

    2. Put the chicken into a large roasting tin and rub with the tagine paste. Add the onion and remaining 50ml stock. Season, then grill for 10 minutes.

    3. Stir in the apricots, then grill for another 5 minutes until the chicken is dark golden and cooked through with no pink meat, and the apricots are cooked but still holding their shape. Drizzle with the honey. Fold the spinach, lemon juice and some seasoning through the couscous, then serve with the chicken.
