Ingredients

  • 190g Chicken Thigh
  • 255g couscous
  • 80g cherry tomatoes
  • 80g butternut squash
  • 20g harissa paste
  • 10g lemon juice
  • 50g greek yoghurt
  • 10g olive oil
  • 30g pomegranate seeds
  • fresh mint

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the cherry tomatoes and butternut squash, 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

    Toss the chicken thighs in half the sauce and roast at 200°C (180°C fan) for 22-25 minutes, until caramelised at the edges and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Loosen the harissa with lemon juice and brush it over the protein before cooking. Swirl a little extra harissa through the yoghurt to serve.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the cherry tomatoes and butternut squash for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: couscous first, then the veg and chicken thigh, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the fresh mint.

  7. 7

    Bulking upgrade: add the olive oil, pomegranate seeds for extra energy-dense calories.
