Method

  • step 1

    Tip the couscous into a large bowl and pour over the stock. Cover and leave for 10 mins until fluffy and all the stock has been absorbed. Heat 1 tbsp oil and fry the courgettes until softened and crisping at the edges. Tip into the couscous, then stir in with plenty of seasoning and a good squeeze of lemon juice from one of the halves.

  • step 2

    Halve the chicken breasts horizontally and put each piece on a sheet of cling film. Cover with another sheet and beat each piece out with a rolling pin to make it thinner. Season. Heat the remaining oil in a large pan and fry the chicken for about 2 mins on each side until cooked through. Squeeze over the juice from the other lemon half and serve with the couscous and lemon wedges on the side.

Nice and quick which is what we like in our house! Defo remove as much liquid as possible from the courgette by placing in a muslin and squeezing as hard as you can. I added garlic and fresh mint to the couscous and allspice to the chicken - pretty good. The 1 year old enjoyed it too, which if you…
