Cooking Steps

1

• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium-high heat. • Cook garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water and vegetable stock powder and bring to the boil. • Add couscous, stir to combine, cover with a lid and remove from heat. • Set aside until the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with fork. Stir though baby spinach leaves, until wilted and combined.

2

• Meanwhile, finely chop tomato. • Zest lime and slice into wedges. • Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a medium bowl, place tomato, a good squeeze of lime juice, and a drizzle of olive oil. Tear in parsley. Toss to combine. Season. • In a small bowl, combine lime zest and Greek-style yoghurt. Season with salt and pepper.

3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • When oil is hot, cook chicken steaks until cooked through, 3-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).

TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.

4

• Divide spinach couscous between bowls. • Top with seared chicken and herby tomato salsa. • Dollop over some lemon yoghurt and crumble over fetta cubes to serve. Enjoy!
