Glazed Chicken and Bell Peppers
with couscous and sprinkled scallions
Ketjap manis—also known as Indonesian ketchup—is a popular Asian condiment similar to soy sauce, but sweeter. It forms the base of the syrupy, tangy glaze coating the succulent chicken and veg in this delicious dish.

Instructions
1
- Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Trim and thinly slice the scallion.
- Thinly slice the chilli.
- Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into strips.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
2
- Pop the couscous in a medium bowl.
- Add 200ml boiling water (500ml for 4p) and cover with a plate or cling film.
- Leave aside for 10 mins.
- Add 2 tbsp flour (double for 4p) to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and toss to coat. IMPORTANT: Wash hands after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to vacuum packing we use to keep it fresh.
3
- Meanwhile, place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the bell pepper and fry until starting to soften, 3-4 mins. Stir occasionally.
- Add the onion and another drizzle of oil (if necessary) to the pan and cook until softened, 4-5 mins, stirring occasionally.
- Add the garlic, cook for 1 min more, then transfer the veg to a plate or bowl and cover to keep warm.
4
- Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- When hot, fry the chicken, shifting frequently until golden all over, 6-7 mins.
- Once the chicken is golden, stir back in the onion and bell pepper and cook together for 1 min.
5
- Add the ketjap manis, vinegar, sriracha and 75ml water (double for 4p) to the pan.
- Add the chopped chilli (use less if you don't like spice) and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced slightly and the chicken is cooked through, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Remove from the heat, taste and season with salt, pepper and sugar.
TIP: Add a splash of water if you feel it needs loosening.
6
- Fluff up the couscous with a fork and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spoon into bowls and top with the chicken and veg.
- Finish with a sprinkling of sliced scallion.
