For couscous with chicken and cashew boil water, add salt, add couscous and cook for 10 minutes, stirring constantly, over very low heat.

Cut the chicken fillet into cubes about 2 cm in size and fry with cashews in vegetable oil. 5 minutes after frying, add diced sweet pepper and onion into thin half rings. Mix everything and fry for another 8 minutes.

Put the couscous on a large flat dish, put the fried cashew chicken on top, season with salt, cumin, curry and minced garlic. Chicken cashew couscous can be served hot or cold.
