Cooking Steps
• In a large bowl, combine garlic & herb seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add chicken tenderloins, tossing to coat. • Roughly chop cucumber and tomato. Grate carrot (see ingredients). • In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, tomato and a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.
• In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook garlic paste and carrot, stirring, until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. • Add the water, butter, currants (see ingredients) and chicken-style stock powder and bring to the boil. • Add wholemeal couscous. Stir to combine, cover with a lid and remove from heat. Set aside until water is absorbed, 5 minutes.
• While couscous is cooking, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. • When oil is hot, cook chicken until browned and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 3-4 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • While chicken is cooking, fluff up cooked couscous with a fork. Season to taste.
TIP: The spice blend will char slightly in the pan. This adds to the flavour!
• Divide wholemeal couscous salad between bowls. • Top with herby chicken, tomato salsa and a dollop of dill & parsley mayonnaise. Enjoy!
