In the morning prepare the couscous:
Add everything except the chicken, water and oil to a gallon size durable freezer bag, knead to mix dry ingredients.
Bring water to near boiling. DO NOT use boiling water! Add water and oil to the mixture in the bag. Squeeze out some air, close, and seal bag tightly; knead gently to mix. Be sure to leave some air in the bag. There needs to be room in the bag for expansion.
Securely zip up the “cooking” lunch meal and place in a safe place while you do your morning and early afternoon activities.
At lunch time:
When your group is ready for lunch, add the undrained canned/pouched chicken to the bag, squeeze out some of the air, seal tightly, and knead carefully until well mixed.
TIP: For an easy, mess-free lunch, prepare couscous in a heavy duty freezer bag
