Cut the chicken into even thin strips on a separate board. Toss with paprika and salt. Dice the pepper.

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the pepper for 5 minutes, then add the chicken and cook for 7–10 minutes, turning, until the thickest pieces reach 165°F / 74°C.

Meanwhile, put the couscous in a heatproof bowl. Add the boiling stock, cover and leave for 5 minutes or follow the pack proportions. Fluff with a fork.

Fold the pepper into the couscous. Divide between plates, add the chicken and squeeze the lemon over both portions.
A note from the kitchen
Use a thermometer to check poultry. Keep raw chicken and ready-to-eat ingredients separate.
