Double Chicken & Pearl Couscous Bowl

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 pearl 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.

We’ve replaced the white turnip in this recipe with cherry tomatoes due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!

Cooking Steps

Make the pearl couscous
1

• 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 the water is absorbed, 10-12 minutes.

Make the salsa
2

• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber into halfmoons. 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.

Prep the chicken
3

• 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.

Cook the chicken
4

• 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 when it's no longer pink inside.

Bring it all together
5

• Add baby leaves and a drizzle of olive oil to the couscous and stir to combine. Season to taste.

Finish & serve
6

• Slice the chicken.
• Divide couscous between bowls. Top with garlicky chicken, cucumber salsa and garlic aioli. Season with pepper to serve. Enjoy!
