Moroccan Honey-Glazed Chicken

with Jewelled Carrot Couscous & Lemon Yoghurt

Difficulty: 1/3
Moroccan

Vibrant veggies and Moroccan spices combine to create this rich and colourful bowl. From the sweet currants in the couscous, to the succulent honey-glazed chicken and lemony yoghurt, there’s so much to love in this meal tonight! *Unfortunately, this week's chicken thigh was in short supply. Some customers will receive chicken breast instead of chicken thigh. Don't worry, the recipe will be just as delicious!*

Preparation
1
Roast the veggies

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan forced. Cut the red onion into 2cm wedges. Place the onion and peeled & chopped pumpkin on the oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer and roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

2
Cook the chicken

While the veggies are roasting, combine the plain flour, ras el hanout and the salt in a large bowl. Add the chicken thigh and toss to coat. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken thigh and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10-14 minutes. In the last 2 minutes of cook time, add the honey to the pan. Turn occasionally until the chicken is glazed. *Alternative Step 2 if you've received chicken breast:* While the veggies are roasting, grate the carrot (see ingredients list). Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Melt the butter with a drizzle of olive oil in a medium saucepan over a mediumhigh heat. Add the carrot and cook, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water, crumbled chicken stock (1 cube for 2 people / 2 cubes for 4 people) and currants. Bring to the boil. Add the couscous, stir to combine then cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Set aside until the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.

Make the couscous

While the chicken is cooking, grate the carrot (see ingredients list). Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Melt the butter with a drizzle of olive oil in a medium saucepan over a medium high heat. Add the carrot and cook, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water, crumbled chicken stock (1 cube for 2 people / 2 cubes for 4 people) and currants. Bring to the boil. Add the couscous, stir to combine then cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Set aside until the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork. *Alternative Step 3 if you've received chicken breast:* While the carrot couscous is cooking, combine the plain flour, ras el hanout and the salt in a large bowl. Place your hand flat on top of the chicken breast and use a sharp knife to slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. Add the chicken steaks and toss to coat. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a mediumhigh heat. Add the chicken steaks and cook until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (depending on thickness). In the last 2 minutes of cook time, add the honey to the pan. Turn occasionally until the chicken is glazed. TIP: The chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink in the middle.

4
Make the lemon yoghurt

While the carrot couscous is cooking, roughly chop the baby spinach leaves. Zest the lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. Pick and roughly chop the mint. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yoghurt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste.

5
Finish the couscous

In a large bowl, combine the carrot couscous, roasted veggies, baby spinach, lemon zest and mint (reserve some for garnish).

6
Serve up

Thickly slice the chicken. Divide the roasted veggie couscous between bowls and top with the Moroccan honey-glazed chicken. Dollop over the lemon yoghurt and garnish with the reserved mint to serve.
