Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. • In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Toast Israeli couscous, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Half-fill saucepan with boiling water, then add a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, until tender, 10-12 minutes. • Drain and return to the pan, stir in chicken-style stock powder and a drizzle of olive oil.
• While couscous is cooking, halve cherry tomatoes.
• In large frying pan, heat drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, cook diced chicken and garlic & herb seasoning, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • Add the honey and toss to coat. • To the couscous, add chicken and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste. Divide between two microwave-safe containers. • Top with basil pesto, tomatoes and baby spinach leaves. Refrigerate.
• When you're ready for lunch, microwave the herby chicken and cherry tomato couscous for 2-3 minutes or until heated to your liking, stir to combine. Enjoy!
