Cooking Steps

Cook the chicken
1

• Set air fryer to 200°C. • Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast, slicing through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a medium bowl, combine chermoula spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken, gently turning to coat. • Place chicken into the air fryer basket and cook until cooked through, 15-18 minutes. • In the last 2 minutes of cook time, drizzle over the honey and cook until golden. TIP: No air fryer? 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. In the last 2 minutes of cook time, drizzle over the honey and cook until golden. Turn chicken to coat. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink in the middle.

Make the couscous
2

• Meanwhile, grate carrot. • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook carrot, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes. 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. • Leave for 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and stir through Gourmet Garden lightly dried parsley (see ingredients). Cover to keep warm.

Make the garlic yoghurt
3

• Meanwhile, thinly slice apple into wedges. Finely chop garlic. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil and garlic over medium-high heat. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a small heatproof bowl. • Add Greek-style yoghurt to garlic oil mixture, stirring to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then set aside.

Finish & serve
4

• Combine apple, spinach & rocket mix (see ingredients) and a drizzle of olive oil and white wine vinegar in a second medium bowl. Season to taste. • Slice chicken. • Divide carrot couscous and salad between bowls. • Top with Moroccan chicken. • Serve with garlic yoghurt. Enjoy!
