• Set your air fryer to 200°C.
• Cut carrot into bite-sized chunks. Cut beetroot into small chunks.
• Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.
• Place sliced leek, carrot and beetroot into the air fryer basket, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Cook for 10 minutes. Shake the basket, then cook until tender, a further 5-10 minutes.
TIP: No air fryer? Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Place veggies on a lined oven tray, drizzle with oil and season. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• While the veggies are cooking, in a medium saucepan, combine the water and chicken-style stock powder and bring to the boil.
• Add couscous and stir to combine. Cover with a lid and remove from heat. Set aside until water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.
• SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you’re sensitive to heat.Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine chermoula spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken steaks, then toss to coat.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast slivered almonds, tossing, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken steaks until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it’s no longer pink inside.
• To the saucepan with couscous, add veggies, baby leaves and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Slice chermoula chicken.
• Divide veggie couscous between bowls. Top with chicken and garlic dip.
