- Combine couscous, mint and coriander in a bowl. Pour in boiling water. Cover and let stand until couscous is soft, about 5 minutes.
- Place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of heavy foil on a solid, level surface; pound firmly with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a 2cm thickness. Season both sides with paprika, salt and pepper.
- Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Fry chicken breasts until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Slice chicken into strips.
- Add green and red capsicum to the same pan that you used to cook the chicken; cook and stir over high heat until blackened in spots, about 5 minutes.
- Spread couscous over the bottom a large serving plate. Top with chicken slices, capsicum mixture, mango, avocado, watercress, feta cheese and yogurt.
