Method

  • step 1

    Heat the grill to high. Peel and dice the mango, toss with most of the spring onions, and the cumin and rice vinegar, then set aside. Put the couscous in a large heatproof bowl, pour over 400ml boiling water, then cover with cling film and set aside.

  • step 2

    Mix together the marmalade and mustard. Lay the chicken strips in a roasting tin, then brush over half of the marmalade glaze. Grill for 4-5 mins, then turn the chicken over and brush with the remaining glaze. Grill for a further 4-5 mins until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is bubbling. The couscous should then be ready. Stir in the mango mixture and serve with the hot chicken strips and the remaining spring onions sprinkled over.

RECIPE TIPS
USING VEG STOCK

Use boiling vegetable stock instead of water to cook your couscous. This will give your couscous lots of flavour even before you add any other ingredients.

SWAPPING THE CHICKEN…

Swap the marmalade for 3 tbsp clear honey and drizzle it over 8 good-quality chipolatas on a baking tray. Grill for 10 mins, turning occasionally, until the sausages are browned and sticky. Serve with the mango couscous as before.

Sounds weird to some, but tried this yesterday subtituting the couscous with pasta... (I have made it with couscous before). Oddly works in my opinion. I'm trying to bulk up generally, so a chicken and pasta combo is always good for me. Thought it might be dry, but the marmalade and mustard glaze…

Second time I've ever cooked for the family, went well-ish. I'm 24 so yes I am ashamed of my lack of cooking experience and etc. but yes I just wish to express that as a complete beginner it would have been nice if certain things were clarified...

TYPO ALERT: Notice in the ingredients list you…

I want to announce a typo in tip 2/2 which did annoy and confuse me: the tip titled "swapping the chicken..." actually tells you to swap the marmelade instead of chicken, well what do you mean swap the marmelade for some chipotles????! Feel free to delete this comment after you fix the typo.

Loved this dish, felt a little wary after some of the comments were a bit negative but all was fine! I used a very cheap marmalade and I think it needs something more robust as the marinade just melted instead of caramelised but the flavour of the mango, spring onions and the vinegar, was really…
