   • Combine couscous with boiling water in a large heatproof bowl.
   • Cover and let it stand for 5 minutes or until the water is absorbed, fluffing occasionally with a fork.

2. Coat the Chicken:

   • Toss chicken tenderloins in plain flour, shaking away any excess.
   • In a small bowl, beat the egg and milk together. Dip each chicken tenderloin into this mixture.
   • Coat the chicken evenly with the prepared couscous. Place them on a tray.

3. Refrigerate:

   • Cover the tray with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes. This helps the couscous coating to adhere well to the chicken.

   • Meanwhile, mash the avocado in a small bowl and mix it with lime juice and chili to taste. Cover and chill until serving.

5. Cook the Chicken:

   • In a large non-stick frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.

6. Serve:

   • Serve the crunchy couscous-coated chicken with the chilled avocado mixture.
   • Optionally, combine mesclun with tomato for a refreshing side salad.
