with Cucumber Salsa & Aioli
The Mediterranean has some very fresh dishes that leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. We’re taking a page out of their recipe book and creating a couscous bowl studded with baby leaves, topped with zesty seared chicken and served with a cooling aioli for that pop of garlic we know and love. *This recipe is under 650kcal per serving and under 40g carbohydrates per serving.* *We’ve replaced the freekeh in this recipe with pearl couscous due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!*

• Boil the kettle. • In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Toast pearl couscous, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Half-fill saucepan with the boiling water, then add a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, until tender, 10-12 minutes. • Drain and return to the pan with chicken-style stock powder and the butter. Stir to combine.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber into half-moons. • Thinly slice white turnip (see ingredients) and baby leaves. • In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, turnip and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a second medium bowl, combine garlic & herb seasoning, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add chicken and turn to coat.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook chicken until cooked through, 3-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Add baby leaves and a drizzle of olive oil to the couscous and stir to combine. Season to taste.
• Slice chicken. • Divide couscous between bowls. • Top with chicken, cucumber salsa and garlic aioli. Season with pepper to serve. Enjoy!
