Honey & Chipotle Chicken

with Lemon, Garlic & Charred Corn Couscous Salad

You may have heard of a chipotle (pronounced “chi-pot-lay”), it’s simply a smoked, dried jalapeño. Their distinct smokey flavour works brilliantly as a glaze for the chicken, and we’ve put out the fire a little by adding honey to the sauce, plus serving it with a good dollop of sour cream. Now, lesson’s over, time to dig into a super simple meal that won’t compromise on flavour or nutrition.

Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

Drain the sweetcorn (see ingredients). Zest the lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. Finely chop the garlic. Roughly chop the tomato and coriander. Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and use a sharp knife to slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. In a small bowl, combine the honey and mild chipotle sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Char the corn
2

Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Cook the sweetcorn until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside. TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are "popping" out.

Cook the couscous
3

While the corn is charring, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over a medium-high heat. Cook the garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water, then season with salt and bring to the boil. Add the couscous and lemon zest, stir to combine, cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Leave until all the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and set aside, uncovered.

Cook the chicken
4

While the couscous is cooking, return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the chicken until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (depending on thickness). In the last 1 minute of cook time, pour over the honey-chipotle glaze, turning to coat the chicken. TIP: The chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside!

Make the couscous salad
5

While the chicken is cooking, add the baby spinach leaves, tomato, coriander and couscous to the charred corn. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil, then toss to combine. Season to taste. TIP: Make the couscous salad in the saucepan to save on washing up!

Serve up
6

Divide the lemon, garlic and charred corn couscous salad between plates. Top with the honey-chipotle chicken. Spoon over any remaining glaze from the pan. Serve with the sour cream and any remaining lemon wedges.
