Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Chop 1/2 the carrot into small chunks. • Place chopped carrot and peeled & chopped pumpkin on a lined oven tray. • Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 15-20 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays.
• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. • Grate remaining carrot. • Roughly chop baby spinach leaves. • Pick and finely slice mint leaves.
• Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a medium bowl, combine mild North Indian spice blend, a generous pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. • Add chicken, tossing to coat.
• In a medium saucepan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook chicken until cooked through, 3-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Transfer to a plate.
TIP: The spice blend will char slightly in the pan, this adds to the flavour!
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Return saucepan to medium-high heat with the butter. Cook grated carrot until softened, 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the water and chicken-style stock powder. Bring to the boil, then add couscous and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine, cover with a lid and remove from heat. • Set aside until all water is absorbed, 5 minutes. • Fluff up with a fork, then stir through baby spinach, roasted veggies and mint.
• Slice North Indian-spiced chicken. • Divide carrot couscous between bowls. Top with chicken. • Dollop over Greek-style yoghurt. Sprinkle with slivered almonds to serve. Enjoy!
