This Moroccan chicken is a great mid week recipe – less than 10 minutes to prepare, and then 10 minutes to cook. You can also bulk up this recipe buy dicing and frying up your tri-colour capsicums. This recipe would look great with a bit of extra red, green and yellow.

Ingredients:

4 chicken breast fillets, cut into strips
250g couscous
300ml chicken or vegetable stock
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon olive oil
25g pine nuts
1 red chilli, sliced
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
Herbed couscous to serve
Salt and pepper

Method:

Put the couscous in a large bowl, add the hot stock and leave for 5 minutes.
Toss chicken with cinnamon, salt and pepper, and stir fry in hot oil for 6 – 8 minutes.
Add the chilli and pine nuts and cook for a further minute.
Stir in lemon juice, zest and 6 tablespoons of water. Let it bubble rapidly until slightly reduced.
Spoon Moroccan chicken and sauce over herbed couscous and serve immediately.

Serves 4. Cheers, Alison
