Moroccan Chicken & Baby Broccoli Couscous

with Almonds & 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.

We’ve replaced the currants in this recipe with flaked almonds due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!

Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 220°/200°C fan-forced. • Slice courgette into half-moons. Trim baby broccoli. • Place courgette and baby broccoli 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. • In the last 15 minutes of cook time, add peeled pumpkin pieces to the tray and roast until tender. • Remove tray from the oven and allow veggies to cool slightly.

• SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you're sensitive to heat! Meanwhile, combine chermoula spice blend and the salt in a large bowl. Add chicken thigh and turn to coat. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 14-16 minutes. • In the last 2 minutes of cook time, add the honey and turn chicken to coat. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.

• 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 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 baby leaves. Zest lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. • In a small bowl, combine Greek-style yoghurt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste and set aside. • Wash and wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat. Toast flaked almonds, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
