Cooking Steps
1
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press)
- Place the chicken in a bowl with the garlic. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
- Add the soy sauce, toss to coat, then leave aside to marinate.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.
2
- Trim the cucumber, quarter lengthways then chop widthways into small pieces.
- Trim the carrot then coarsely grate (no need to peel).
- Chop the tomatoes into 2cm chunks.
- Finely chop the parsley (stalks and all). Zest and quarter the lemon.
- Add the cucumber, carrot, tomato, parsley and lemon zest to a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3
- Pour 600ml water (per 2P) into a pot, stir in the stock and bring to the boil.
- Stir in the pearled couscous, bring back up to the boil and simmer, covered, 12-15 mins.
- Drain in a sieve and pop back in the pot. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Once cooked, stir through the carrot and tomatoes. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
4
- Meanwhile, mix the tahini with the yoghurt, chilli flakes, lemon juice to taste and a drizzle of oil.
- Stir to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper.
TIP: Use a blender if you'd like a smoother consistency.
5
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and season with salt and pepper.
- Fry until golden brown on the outside and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
NOTE: Adding prawns? Once the chicken has cooked for 5 mins, add prawns to the hot pan and fry until cooked through, 4-5 mins.
6
- When everything's ready, fluff up the couscous with a fork and divide between bowls.
- Top with the chopped salad and diced chicken.
- Finish with the tahini yoghurt drizzle.
