Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Grate carrot.
• Finely chop garlic.
• Roughly baby spinach leaves. 
• Halve snacking tomatoes.  

Make the couscous
2

• Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat with the butter and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot and 1/2 the garlic, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes. • Add the water and chicken-style stock powder, then bring to the boil. Add couscous and currants, stir to combine, then cover with a lid and remove from heat. Set aside until water has absorbed, 5 minutes. • Fluff up with a fork, then stir through baby spinach and tomato. Season to taste and set aside uncovered.

Cook the chicken
3

• In a medium bowl, combine garlic & herb seasoning, a drizzle of olive oil and remaining garlic. Add chicken breast strips and toss to coat. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• When oil is hot, cook chicken breast strips in batches, until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes.
TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.

Finish & serve
4

• Divide jewelled couscous between bowls. Top with herby chicken. • Sprinkle over flaked almonds. Dollop with Greek-style yoghurt to serve. Enjoy!
