Ingredients

  • 150g Chicken Breast
  • 150g couscous
  • 80g peas
  • 80g asparagus
  • 10g butter
  • 9g garlic
  • 10g lemon juice
  • chopped parsley
  • chopped parsley

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the peas and asparagus, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Pour just-boiled stock over the couscous, cover for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

  3. 3

    Season the chicken breast, butterfly it so it cooks evenly, then grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side until the juices run clear (75°C in the thickest part).

  4. 4

    Melt the butter with the garlic over a gentle heat for 1 minute, then spoon the foaming garlic butter over the protein and finish with lemon.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the peas and asparagus for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the bowl: couscous first, then the veg and chicken breast, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the chopped parsley.
