Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Boil a kettle of water. Roughly chop the red onion. Place the onion, chicken breast, a dollop of the Greek style yoghurt, Nan's special seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil on an oven tray. Season and toss to coat. Bake the chicken until cooked through, 18-25 minutes. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
While the chicken is baking, place couscous in medium bowl, crumble over the chicken stock (1 cube for 2 people / 2 cubes for 4 people). Add the boiling water and stir to combine. Immediately cover with a plate and leave for 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and set aside.
While the couscous is cooking, roughly chop the cucumber and tomato. When the couscous is done, add the tomato, cucumber, rocket leaves, a drizzle of white wine vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to combine and season to taste.
Divide the couscous salad between bowls. Top with the yoghurt chicken (plus any juices from the oven tray), onion, roasted almonds and remaining yoghurt.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: Many enjoyed the tasty combination, though some found the chicken seasoning too smoky or sweet. Almonds added a delightful crunch.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to prepare, with minimal clean-up. Some found the recipe card instructions unclear for cooking the chicken.
- Suggestions: Consider pan-frying the chicken in smaller pieces for more tenderness. Adding lemon juice or avocado could enhance the flavour.
- Leftovers: The salad didn't keep well for next-day eating, but the chicken was good for lunch the following day.
- Portions: Several found there was too much couscous compared to other ingredients. Some were full, while others wanted more.
