Cooking Steps
Zest the lemon to get a good pinch and slice into wedges. In a large bowl, combine the garlic & herb seasoning, lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken tenderloins and stir to coat.
Roughly chop the baby spinach. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the garlic. Grate the carrot (see ingredients).
In a medium bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, the vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil. Season.
In a medium saucepan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the garlic and carrot until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Add the water, currants (see ingredients) and the crumbled chicken stock (1 cube for 2 people / 2 cubes for 4 people) and bring to the boil. Add the wholemeal couscous. Stir to combine, cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Set aside until the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork, add the baby spinach leaves and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Season and gently toss to combine.
While the couscous is cooking, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a mediumhigh heat. When the oil is hot, cook the chicken until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). TIP: Don't worry if your chicken gets a little charred during cooking. It adds to the flavour!
Divide the couscous between bowls and top with the cherry tomatoes and the lemon, garlic and herb chicken. Pour over any chicken resting juices and dollop over the dill & parsley mayonnaise. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
