• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut onion, carrot and parsnip into bite-sized chunks. • Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Roughly chop baby spinach leaves. • Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a large bowl, combine Creole spice blend, the brown sugar, the salt and a drizzle of olive oil. • Add chicken and turn to coat.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast flaked almonds until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. • Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side. Remove from heat.
TIP: The chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
TIP: Don't worry if your chicken gets a little charred during cooking. It adds to the flavour!
• While the chicken is cooking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the water and chicken-style stock powder and bring to the boil. • Add couscous and stir to combine, then cover with a lid and remove from heat. Set aside until the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.
• When the couscous is done, add roasted veggies and baby spinach to the couscous. Stir to combine and season to taste.
• Slice Creole chicken. • Divide roast veggie couscous between bowls. Top with chicken, spooning over any resting juices. • Garnish with toasted almonds and serve with garlic dip. Enjoy!
