Bring chicken stock to the boil in a pot. Pour stock over couscous in a heat proof bowl, cover and let stand for 5 minutes.

Heat butter in a fry pan then add couscous to the pan and cook stirring until couscous is fluffy and separated. Add to the couscous the lemon rind, spinach, salt, pepper and toss through gently.

Serve the chicken pieces on top of the couscous and lemon wedges.
