At the same time, place tomatoes in small pan and heat to boiling. Add tarragon, chicken, salt and pepper, stirring very gently so as not to break up the chunks of chicken. Turn off heat, cover and let stand 2 – 3 minutes to heat chicken through.
To serve, place the couscous in bowls and put the chicken mixture over the top.
