Instructions

Get Started
1
  • Boil a half-full kettle.
  • Slice the pepper into strips.
  • Put the couscous in a large bowl. Pour in the boiled water for the couscous (see pantry), stir in half the chicken stock paste, then cover tightly with cling film. 
  • Leave to the side for 10 mins or until ready to serve.
Fry Time
2
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, fry the pepper and chicken, 5-6 mins.
  • Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat.
Add Flavour
3
  • Stir in the chipotle (add less if you'd prefer things milder), passata, sugar, water (see pantry for both) and remaining chicken stock paste. 
  • Bring to the boil, then lower the heat. Simmer, 3-4 mins. 
  • Meanwhile, stir the sun-dried tomato paste into the couscous.
  • When ready, stir the butter (see pantry) into the chicken. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from the heat. IMPORTANT: Cook the chicken so there's no pink in the middle.
Dinner's Ready!
4
  • Share the couscous between your bowls.
  • Spoon over the chicken.
  • Top with the soured cream and rocket.
  • Drizzle some olive oil over the rocket to finish.  

Enjoy!
