Method

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of baking parchment and lightly bash with a rolling pin or heavy saucepan until around 1cm thick. Dust the chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess. Spread the harissa paste over the floured chicken, fully covering the meat. Coat the fillets in the breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs firmly into the breasts to make sure they stick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the coated chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 mins per side, until golden, crisp and cooked through. You might have to do this in batches.
Meanwhile, prepare the couscous according to the pack instructions. Stir through the spinach and leave for 1 min to slightly wilt, before adding the cherry tomatoes, spring onions and seasoning. Serve the chicken escalopes immediately along with the couscous salad.
