After 5 minutes, remove the cover.

When couscous has cooled, place it into a large mixing bowl.
Use your fingers to break-up and fluff the grains.

Wash and slice the grapes.
Peel and slice the orange. (see below)

Use a small knife to cut all of the skin from the orange.
Cut the orange in half, tip to stem.
Cut each half in half again.
Slice orange into thin quarter sections as shown in photo.

As for the chicken, I like to use leftover
roasted chicken breast.
