Instructions

If you have time in advance, combine the dry spices, ginger, chilli, garlic and lemon juice and marinate the chicken for an hour. If you don't have time for this then just go straight to step 2.
Heat a little oil in a wok and then add the chicken and spices from step 1.
While the chicken is cooking, toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan until they are slightly browned.
When the chicken is cooked on all sides, add the red pepper and onion to the wok. Continue to cook for about 4 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Add the pine nuts and coriander leaf and stir through.
Serve with couscous or in pitta breads
