Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • Season half chicken with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Cook chicken, skin side down, until browned, 5-6 minutes each side. • Meanwhile, combine Mediterranean seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil in a small. • Transfer chicken to a lined oven tray, spread the herb mix all over, and roast until cooked through, 35-45 minutes. Set aside to rest for 5-10 minutes. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.

2

• While the chicken is roasting, roughly chop baby spinach leaves. Trim baby broccoli. Slice lemon into wedges.

3

• In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook sliced leek until tender, 3-4 minutes. • Add pearl couscous, garlic paste and cook, tossing until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add chicken-style stock powder and the water (for the couscous). • Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the couscous is tender and water has absorbed, 10-12 minutes. Add the butter (for the couscous), stir to combine and cover to keep warm.

4

• While the couscous is cooking, return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook baby broccoli and cook until tender, 5-6 minutes. • In the last 2 minutes, add baby spinach, cooking until wilted. Remove pan from heat and add a squeeze of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the veggies to a bowl. TIP: Add a dash of water to the pan to help speed up the cooking process.

5

• Roughly chop roasted almonds. Return the frying pan to medium heat with the butter (for the sauce) and a drizzle of olive oil. • Add almonds, onion chutney, the water (for the sauce), the balsamic vinegar and cook, until slightly reduced and thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.

6

• Cut chicken in half. Divide couscous and greens between plates. • Top with Sicilian-style roast chicken and almond sauce. Crumble over goat cheese (see ingredients) and tear over parsley. • Serve with remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
