Put the couscous in a large,
heatproof bowl and cover with 100ml boiling water. Stir in
1 tbsp pesto. Cover and leave for 8 mins.

Fluff the couscous with a
fork, then stir in the rest of the pesto, the yoghurt and
some seasoning. Toss in the chicken, basil, chopped
cucumber and sundried tomatoes.

Spoon the couscous mixture
into the lettuce leaves to eat with your fingers, or serve
over the lettuce like a salad. Scatter over the pine nuts
and more basil before serving.
