Quick Spiced Chicken & Currant Couscous
with Yoghurt & Toasted Almonds
Couscous — the grain so nice they named it twice! Here we’ve added sweet currants and nutty almonds for a pop of flavour, and topped the whole thing off with mildly spiced chicken strips and greens. Don’t forget the generous dollop of cooling yoghurt to bring the meal together.

Instructions
• Grate carrot. Finely chop garlic. Roughly chop tomato and baby leaves. • Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat with the butter and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot and half the garlic, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes. • Add the water and chicken-style stock powder, then bring to the boil. • Add couscous, stir to combine, then cover with a lid and remove from heat. Set aside until the water has absorbed, 5 minutes. • Fluff up with a fork, then stir through baby leaves, tomato and currants. Season to taste and set aside uncovered.
• While the couscous is cooking, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast flaked almonds, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • In a medium bowl, combine Aussie spice blend, remaining garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken breast strips and toss to coat.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook chicken strips until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Divide currant couscous between bowls. • Top with spiced chicken. Dollop with Greek-style yoghurt. • Tear over parsley and garnish with toasted almonds to serve. Enjoy!
