Step-by-step preparation

1. In a bowl, mix the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, chopped garlic, grated ginger, salt and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and make sure both sides are well coated. Marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
3. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and cook for 20–25 minutes, turning once, until golden and cooked through.
4. Meanwhile, make the couscous. In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil with the salt and cumin. Add the raisins and almonds and stir well. Add the couscous, stir and cover the pan. Let it stand for 5 minutes.
5. Fluff the couscous with a fork and stir in a little chopped fresh chives.
6. Serve the glazed chicken over the couscous and garnish with more chopped chives. Enjoy! Serve with a fresh salad and a dry white wine.
