Cooking Steps

Cook the chicken
1

• Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • In a medium bowl, combine paprika spice blend, a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Add pork loin steaks, turning to coat. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken steaks until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.

Make the couscous
2

• Meanwhile, boil the kettle. In a medium bowl, add couscous and chicken-style stock powder. • Add the boiling water (3/4 cup for 2 people / 1 1/2 cups for 4 people) and stir to combine. Immediately cover with plate and leave for 5 minutes. • Fluff up with fork and set aside.

Bring it all together
3

• While couscous is cooking, add trimmed green beans and a splash of water to a microwave-safe bowl, then cover with a damp paper towel. • Microwave green beans on high until just tender, 2-4 minutes. Drain green beans, then return to the bowl and cover to keep warm. • Thinly slice tomato into wedges. • Once couscous is done, add tomato, green beans, rocket, a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil, tossing to combine. Season to taste.

Finish & serve
