Cooking Steps

1

• Boil the kettle. • Slice lemon into wedges. • Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a medium bowl, combine peri-peri seasoning, a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken steaks, turning to coat.

2

• Add trimmed green beans and a splash of water to a microwave-safe bowl, then cover with a damp paper towel. • Microwave green beans on high until just tender, 2-4 minutes. Drain, then return to the bowl and cover to keep warm. • To a large heatproof bowl, add couscous, the salt and butter. • Add the boiling water (3/4 cups for 2 people / 11/2 cups for 4 people) and stir to combine. Immediately cover with a plate and leave for 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and allow to cool slightly.

Cook the chicken
3

• Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook chicken steaks until cooked through, 3-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Remove pan from heat, then add the honey and a good squeeze of lemon juice, turning chicken to coat. Season to taste. TIP: Chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.

4

• To couscous, add rocket leaves, semi-dried tomatoes, green beans, a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil, tossing to combine. Season to taste. • Slice chicken. • Divide lemony couscous between bowls. Top with peri-peri chicken. Drizzle over mayonnaise and serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
