How To Make Tropical Chicken

Firstly stir fry the chicken and pineapple in some spice.  In the meantime, bring the coconut milk to boil and add the couscous and let it steep. SO EASY! I love the combination of pineapple with the salty, fried chicken strips.  In addition the chilli flakes and fresh mint makes it refreshing and comforting all in one go.
