• Boil the kettle. Place couscous and chicken-style stock powder in a medium heatproof bowl. • Add the boiling water (3/4 cup for 2 people / 11/2 cups for 4 people) and stir to combine. • Immediately cover with a plate and leave until all water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and set aside.
• Meanwhile, trim and halve green beans. Thinly slice capsicum. Finely chop garlic. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook green beans and capsicum until tender, 4-6 minutes. • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to bowl with couscous.
• Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook chicken steaks until cooked through, 3-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.
• Slice chicken. • To bowl with the couscous, add a drizzle of white wine vinegar and stir to combine. Season to taste. • Divide super green couscous between bowls. Top with chicken. • Drizzle over creamy pesto dressing and tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
