Cooking Steps

• In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Toast pearl couscous, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water and chicken-style stock powder. Bring to the boil, then cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender and water is absorbed, 10-12 minutes.

• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber into half-moons. • Thinly slice white turnip (see ingredients). • Finely chop 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.
