I was going to mix the salsa in with the cous cous, but I decided not to and I'm so glad I did. The warm soft cous cous and then a fresh, cool hit of the salsa made my little tastebuds do somersaults!
Anyway, this is how I did it, I was super lazy and had some M and S marinated chicken escalopes in the freezer (these are amazing for a quick tea! Just pull it out of the freezer in the morning and voila! Dinner is served)
Ingredients:
- 4 pieces of marinated chicken escalopes - I had the M and S pri piri ones
- 1/2 cup wholewheat cous cous
- 3/4 cup hot chicken stock
- small can of chickpeas
- 1/2 yellow pepper
- small chunk of cucumber
- 8 cherry tomatoes
- handful of pomegranate seeds
- 1 tbsp chopped flat leaf parsley
- 1/2 tbsp chopped mint
- juice of 1/4 lemon
- tbsp garlic oil
- 1/2 tsp sugar
Method:
- Put a griddle pan on a high heat and allow to warm up
- Cover the cous cous in the chicken stock then add the chickpeas on top
- Give a gentle stir with a fork then cover with clingfilm or a plate
- Chop finely the cucumber, tomatoes and pepper
- Add to small bowl and stir in the lemon juice, parsley, mint, pomegranate, olive oil and sugar
- Cook the chicken on the griddle until charred and golden (and cooked through)
- Layer up on a plate with the cous cous on the bottom, then the chicken and the salsa on top
- Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil if needed and a little hummus...enjoy!
