Cooking Steps

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut carrot and courgette into bite-sized chunks. • Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

• Meanwhile, zest lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast flaked almonds, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.

• Return pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken thigh and garlic & herb seasoning, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 14-16 minutes.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.

• Boil the kettle. Place couscous and chicken-style stock powder in a large heatproof bowl. • Add the boiling water (3/4 cup for 2 people / 11/2 cups for 4 people) and stir to combine. • Immediately cover with a plate and leave for 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork, then stir through basil pesto and set aside.
