Preparation
1
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press)
Place the chicken in a bowl with the garlic. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
Add the soy sauce, toss to coat, then leave aside to marinate.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.
2
Trimthe cucumber,quarter lengthways then chop widthways into small pieces.
Trim the carrot then coarsely grate (no need to peel).
Chop the tomatoes into 2cm chunks.
Finely chop the parsley (stalks and all). Zest and quarter the lemon.
Add the cucumber, carrot, tomato, parsley and lemon zest to a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3
Pour 600ml water (per 2P) into a pot, stir in the stock and bring to the boil.
Stir in the pearled couscous, bring back up to the boil and simmer, covered, 12-15 mins.
Drain in a sieve and pop back in the pot. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Once cooked, stir through the carrot and tomatoes. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
4
Meanwhile, mix the tahini with the yoghurt, chilli flakes, lemon juice to taste and a drizzle of oil.
Stir to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper.
TIP: Use a blender if you'd like a smoother consistency.
5
Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and season with salt and pepper.
Fry until golden brown on the outside and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
6
When everything's ready, fluff up the couscous with a fork and divide between bowls.
