Put vinegar and sultanas in a small saucepan over a low heat and bring to a simmer. Stir in onion, then remove from heat and transfer mixture to a bowl. Stir in chilli and remaining oil and cumin. Season with extra salt and pepper.
-
Thinly slice oranges into rounds, then cut each round into 6 triangles and add to onion mixture.

Cook couscous following pack instructions.
-
Meanwhile, put chicken in a frying pan or on the barbecue over a high heat. Cook for 4 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
-
Scatter couscous over a platter and top with orange mixture. Spoon over a little of the yoghurt and top with chicken. Scatter with almond and mint leaves and serve with the remaining yoghurt on the side.
