Moroccan Honey Chicken & Zesty Veggie Couscous

with Coriander & Lemon Yoghurt

We love the way honey caramelises in a pan, lending a crispy, sticky finish to chicken. We’ve used chicken thigh here because it packs a fantastic flavour, remains moist as it cooks and complements the bed of delicious roast veggie couscous that comes with it.

This recipe is under 650kcal per serving.
