Put the couscous into a bowl with a pinch of salt and pour over 200ml of just-boiled water. Cover and leave for 10 minutes, then fluff up with a fork.

Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and season.

Tip the onion, pepper, cucumber and herbs into the couscous, with ¾ of the dressing, then mix really well. Divide between 2 plates, top each with a sliced chicken breast and a sprinkle of hazelnuts. Spoon over the rest of the dressing.
