Directions
Start by seasoning the chicken breast on the skin side, then place a large pan over high heat, add 2 tbsp of olive oil and place the chicken into the cold pan.
- Cook the chicken in the pan until you have a nice golden colour. Then season the top with salt and pepper and place the whole pan into a 180°c oven for 10-15 minutes or until it reaches an internal temp of 70°c.
- Cook the veg in a large fry pan with 2 tbsp of olive oil over high heat.
- After 3 minutes, add the spices and toss, and cook for a further 4-5 minutes or until the veg is just cooked.
- Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.
- To cook the couscous, place it into a bowl with 1 tbsp of oil, pour over 600ml of boiling water and mix with a fork. Place a lid on the bowl and leave for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, fluff the couscous with the fork and then mix the veg through.
- To serve, place some of the couscous salad on the plate, then the sliced chicken breast and top with romesco (recipe below).
