Fry the onion in 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt until soft. Add the chicken and fry until opaque. Add the chicken stock, lemon zest and juice, and bring to a simmer. Stir in the kale, and turn the heat down to low. Add a lid and leave to simmer for 10 minutes.
step 2

Meanwhile, put the couscous into a bowl with some seasoning and just cover with boiling water, cover and leave for 5-10 minutes until completely absorbed. Fluff the couscous with a fork, then spoon into bowls and ladle over the chicken and kale stew. Serve with the lemon wedges.
