Marinated Chicken with Couscous and Tzatziki

Marinated Chicken with Cous Cous and Tzatziki

Serves: 2

Ingredients

For the chicken

• 2 chicken breasts, cut into chunks

• 20ml extra virgin olive oil

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• 2 tbsp seasoning ( I used a hot and spicy but you can use any spice mix )

For the salad

• 2 large tomatoes, sliced

• 4 tbsp parsley, roughly chopped

• 2 handfuls mixed salad leaves

• 1 orange, peeled and segmented

For the Cous Cous

• 70g cous cous

• 1 tin chickpeas, rinsed and drained

• 1 orange, juice and zested

• 1/2 red onion, finely minced

• 2 tbsp mixed seeds

• Tzatziki, to serve ( I made my own )

Method

- A few hours before you want to serve this dish, make the marinade and massage it into the chicken. Place it in a bowl and cover it. Chill for a few hours.

- When you're ready to serve, preheat the grill to medium setting and line a tray with baking paper or tin foil.

- Pop the chicken onto the tray and cook it under the grill for around 10 minutes, depending on how big you cut your chicken.

- Make the Cous Cous by mixing all the ingredients, except the orange juice, together in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

- Bring the orange juice and 50ml water to a boil in a small saucepan and immediately pour over the Cous Cous. Cover with tin foil and let it sit for 5 minutes.

- Meanwhile, prepare the salad ingredients place them on one side of a plate.

- Spoon half of the Cous Cous beside the salad and the chicken on top. Dollop some tzatziki on top and your meal is ready!
