Cooking Steps

Flavour the chicken
1

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. Slice the red onion into wedges. Place the onion, chicken thigh, a dollop of Greek- style yoghurt, a drizzle of olive oil and Aussie spice blend on a lined oven tray. Toss to coat. Bake the chicken until golden and cooked through, 20-25 minutes. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.

Cook the couscous
2

While the chicken is baking, place couscous in medium bowl and crumble over the chicken stock (1 cube for 2 people / 2 cubes for 2 people). Add the boiling water (see ingredients) to the couscous and stir to combine. Immediately cover with a plate and leave for 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and set aside.

Bring it together
3

While the couscous is cooking, roughly chop the cucumber and tomato. Cut the lemon into wedges. Just before serving, add the tomato, cucumber, spinach & rocket mix, a good squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil to the couscous. Toss to combine.

Serve up
4

Divide the couscous salad between bowls. Top with the baked chicken (plus any juices from the oven tray), onion, remaining yoghurt and roasted almonds. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
