In a food processor, process aioli, almonds and remaining lemon juice until smooth. Set aside.
Place couscous in a large heatproof bowl. Stir in 1 cup boiling water. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 5 mins, or until liquid is absorbed. Using a fork, fluff to separate grains. Stir in parsley, beans, onion, tomatoes, lemon zest and cucumber. Season.
Serve chicken with couscous salad and almond mayonnaise.
