We love the way honey caramelises in a pan, lending a crispy, sticky finish to chicken. We’ve used chicken breast 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.

• Preheat oven to 220°/200°C fan-forced. • Cut parsnip into small chunks. Place parsnip and peeled pumpkin pieces on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. • Remove tray from the oven and allow veggies to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, combine chermoula spice blend and the salt in a large bowl. Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. Add chicken breast to chermoula mixture and turn to coat. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side. • In the last 2 minutes of cook time, add the honey and turn to coat chicken. Remove from heat.
• While the chicken is cooking, finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the water, currants (see ingredients) and chicken-style stock powder and bring to the boil. Add couscous and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine, cover with a lid and remove from heat. Set aside until all the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.
• While the couscous is cooking, roughly chop salad leaves.
• In a second large bowl, combine couscous, roasted veggies and salad leaves. • Season to taste.
• Slice Moroccan-style honey chicken. • Divide roast veggie couscous between bowls and top with chicken. Dollop with Greek-style yoghurt. Enjoy!
