Cooking steps
- Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Quarter the tomato.
- Trim the courgette, then quarter lengthways. Chop widthways into small pieces.
- Trim and thinly slice the scallion.
- Quarter the lemon.
- Lay the chicken, tomato and courgette on a lined baking tray.
- Toss with half the Middle Eastern spice, salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil.
- Roast on the top shelf of your oven until cooked through, 25-30 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.
- Pop the couscous into a bowl.
- Stir in 200ml boiling water (4P: 500ml | 6P: 600ml) along with the stock.
- Cover with a plate or cling film.
- Leave aside for 10 mins or until ready to serve.
- To a small mixing bowl, add tahini, honey, a drizzle of oil, the remaining Middle Eastern spice and lemon juice to taste.
- Stir to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Stir the paprika through the cooked couscous, fluffing it up as you go.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide the couscous between plates.
- Top with the chicken and roast veg.
- Drizzle the tahini over the top and finish with a scattering of scallion.
