Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. • Heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook diced chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. • Transfer to a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Return pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook soffritto mix until softened, 2-3 minutes. • Add garlic and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add Israeli couscous, garlic & herb seasoning, chicken-style stock powder, the brown sugar and the water. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to low. • Cover pan with a lid (or foil) and simmer, stirring occasionally, until couscous is tender and water has absorbed, 12-15 minutes. Fluff up with a fork. • Add chicken, baby spinach leaves and the butter and stir to combine.
• Divide chicken and Israeli couscous with tomato between bowls. • Sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
