Ingredients

Couscous

  • 1/2 broccoli, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 3/4 cup couscous
  • 1/2 pack baby spinach

Chicken

  • 1 pack chicken breast, sliced 2cm
  • 3/4 tsp Cajun seasoning

Salsa

  • 1/2 telegraph cucumber, finely diced
  • 1 spring onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch mint, roughly chopped

Yoghurt

  • 1/4 cup yoghurt
  • 1/2-1 Tbsp coconut mango sauce (optional, spicy)

Steps

  1. Preheat BBQ hot plate to medium-high heat (if using). Prep & cook couscous. Heat a drizzle of oil in a pot on medium heat. Cook broccoli and garlic for about 3 minutes, until tender. Add stock to pot and bring to the boil. Once boiling turn off heat, add couscous, stir, cover and leave for 5 minutes. Fluff up grains with a fork. Stir through spinach and season to taste.
  2. Prep chicken. Pat chicken dry and cut into 2cm strips. Toss with Cajun seasoning and a drizzle of oil.
  3. Cook chicken. Heat a drizzle of oil in a fry-pan on high heat. Cook chicken for 3-5 minutes each side or until cooked through. Rest, covered. Alternatively, do this on the BBQ.
  4. Prep salsa & yoghurt. In a bowl, toss salsa ingredients with a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. Season. In a separate bowl, combine yoghurt and coconut mango sauce.
  5. Serve couscous topped with chicken, salsa and mango yoghurt.
