Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add half the stock powder, 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt, 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, roughly chop spinach.Once stock mixture is boiling, remove from heat, then add couscous. Stir to combine. Add carrots and dried cranberries on top of couscous, then cover and let stand for 5 min. When couscous is tender, fluff with a fork, then stir to combine.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. While the pan heats, on a separate cutting board, cut chicken into 1-inch wide strips. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper and Moroccan Spice Blend. When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Sear until golden-brown and cooked through, 3-4 min per side.**
Add fig spread, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water and remaining stock powder to the pan with chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fig spread melts and sauce thickens slightly, 1 min.
Stir spinach into the couscous.Divide couscous and chicken between plates.Spoon any remaining sauce in the pan over chicken.
If you've opted to get chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch wide strips, then prepare and cook them in the same way the recipe instructs you to prepare and cook the chicken tenders.
